If this was a full blown commercial FM venture, then I would agree, but a LPFM can be operated from a good desktop computer with easily available software (I use Station Playlist) As for licensing fees, a LPFM is considered a non commercial operation so therefore the fees are much reduced from what a commercial license would pay.
ASCAP $272/yr (up to 100w)
BMI $345/yr
SESAC $140/yr
So, much more affordable than one might think.
