Coming soon at 102.9 on your FM dial: the City of Boston.

The city has assumed partial control of the area’s only low-power FM frequency and will begin evening radio programming in June, officials said Thursday.

Boston Neighborhood Network, the nonprofit that operates the city’s community access cable TV channel, will handle programming from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m. every day for the city, according to the mayor’s office.

Early-evening programming at the station — which will broadcast at 102.9 under the call sign WBCA — will consist of current BNN programming, such as BNN Live studio programs and Boston Neighborhood Network News, the mayor’s office said.

Late-night programming will highlight local artists, bands, and poets. The public has shown a strong interest in local talent, and BNN hopes to develop new opportunities for community involvement, the organization said in a joint statement with the city.

“As a community and local media resource, we know how important it is to gather ideas from our neighbors about different types of programming,’’ said Curtis Henderson Jr., general manager for BNN. “We are proud and grateful that Mayor Walsh has asked us to take on the task of developing a radio presence that will truly represent the people and the cultures of Boston’s diverse neighborhoods.’’

Several organizations applied to the Federal Communications Commission for control of the low-power frequency, the city said. The FCC decided the city would share the channel with Lasell College and Global Ministries. They will broadcast when BNN is off the air.

Currently, 102.9 is an open frequency, said Bonnie McGilpin, a spokeswoman for Mayor Martin J. Walsh. “The city applied for the open FCC license in 2013 as another way to engage residents and also as a way to communicate to residents in an event of a local or regional emergency,’’ she said.

BNN will hold three public meetings as it starts programming, to get feedback on the use of the frequency:

¦ May 18, Roxbury Innovation Center; 2300 Washington St.

¦ June 15, Joseph P. Tynan Elementary School; 650 E 4th St., South Boston.

¦ June 22, Jackson/Mann K-8 School; 40 Armington St., Allston.

“I encourage residents to come out and discuss how our new community radio station can best serve our neighborhoods,’’ Walsh said.
