About FM Towers USA
FM Towers USA is a map of over 8700 FM radio transmitters in the United States. Tap to zoom to your area, and tap again to choose nearby FM Radio Stations, all with frequencies and genre information, and most with FCC contour information so you can see what may be receivable.
Please be clear, this is only for locating stations that you pickup with your car or other radio. It is not to actually listen to radio stations; this is not a streaming app!
Now comes with search and filtering options, in case you don't care for Classic Hip Hop (or maybe that's all you love), or want to find the nearest Sports Talk station.
My previous product, TV Towers USA, found a following amongst RV enthusiasts, and I imagine they'll find this useful too, as well as long haul truckers and others who are looking for a sports radio station in the middle of Iowa.
