I'm on the North Shore and I considered broadcasting our safety information over LPFM to our users but when I did a simple scan of the freq I did not find a free channel, especially the commercial channel at the top of LPFM band swarming over the top of most of the LPFM area in this range (cutting off most of the top area for LPFM. Is it all over for any newcomers with a specialise feed (not music only safety information we were wanting to broadcast).
PS I am a radio engineer so I have a fair ( I think?) idea of what I do and I used an AOR-3000 to scan the band which is a nice mid range and stable (FM) RX Radio.
Suggestion... Why not talk to some of the existing LPFMer's in your area about
programming for your messages?
If they are boat-safety related, maybe talk to 'the flea 88.2' which broadcasts
from the Devonport wharf? They also seem to have good coverage and might
consider such safety announcements as a community service. Infact, perhaps you
could aim the messages as a service to any Auckland LPFM station willing to give
it airtime as a community service?
Just a thought..

Thanks for the support. I guess a first beef was that a
commercial station was taking up all the upper part of the LPFM which was
frustrating..
We need 24x7 updates to our users to sharing was not available. We have to
look at satellite now as its cheaper than a commercial FM licensee.

Gee, I wouldn't necessarily call satellite a cheap option either. If Tony
Dunnett is still on this list he could certainly vouch for that.
What about Freeview DTT? I saw somewhere on their website it's about $40k per
year to broadcast a regional radio station.. Would seem a lot cheaper than
satellite. It would also cover most of Auckland in one hit.
Ofcourse, your members/listeners would ahve to invest $199+ in a Freeview
terrestrial box to listen, but then again they would also be able to view TV in
true HD.
Just thinking of other options, thinking outside the square.
With regard to the commercial on 106.2, I think that's something you're gonna
have to live with. Infact, they are 500kHz away from LPFM, which is more than
enough. Or perhaps you're refering to Mai on 88.6. Hmmm sign of the times,
sorry.
Spare a though for Christchurch LPFM. They have a commercial right on both ends
of the guardband - 88.9/106.5 - go figure.
