The 2010 passage of the Local Community Radio Act was the culmination of two decades of organizing to free up a slice of the airwaves for the voice of the people.

In the upcoming year, we’ll be looking at the opening of the first historic window for hundreds of new local radio stations to come to life in suburban and urban neighborhoods across the country,

Is the Bay Area ready?

Come to this free fun workshop to hear the latest on what low-power radio is and can do for your neighborhood, how to develop an application, what resources are available to help community organizations that want to consider a low-power station, and challenges that lie ahead in making low-power FM a part of the solution to the screwed-up media system we know has to be better.
