The term non-commercial educational (NCE) applies to a radio station or TV station that does not accept on air advertisements (TV ads or radio ads), as defined in the United States by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). NCE stations do not pay broadcast license fees for their non-profit uses of the radio spectrum. Stations which are almost always operated as NCE include Public broadcasting, community radio, and college radio, as well as many religious broadcasting stations.
