Act Now:  You Can Bring A Radio Station to Your Town

Be the media.  It will soon be possible. 

This October, from the 12th through the 19th, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will open a seven-day window for organizations to apply for new, FULL POWER non-commercial educational (NCE) radio frequencies.

Full power station licensing has been frozen since 2000.  And new applications can be filed only during this seven-day window.  So, this is a brief and rare opportunity for communities across the country to acquire a powerful media resource, an opportunity that is not likely to come again in the foreseeable future.

But you must act now.

Support for this community radio project is available through Radio for People (www.radioforpeople.org). 

Radio for People is a network of advocates and operators including Pacifica Radio, Prometheus Radio, the National Federal of Community Broadcasters and ordinary citizens from across the country who have joined together for the single purpose of strengthening community radio.

Their members offer individual assistance specifically tailored to your interests and needs.  Their website includes general suggestions for dealing with the technical, legal, and financial demands of the FCC application process.  If you want to build a radio station, they will help you, every step of the way. 

Or, if you simply want to lend your support to this important community-building endeavor, they will provide outreach materials and network connections.

Community participation and grassroots organizing depends on independent media.  Strengthen your community.  Let Radio for People help you to bring a radio station to your town.
