Building Community Radio Stations for Social Change
 
This October, nonprofits, labor unions, and community groups will have a one-time chance to apply for free FM radio licenses in cities and towns across the country! The time to get ready is now. How could community radio support your organization's work? What's involved in applying for a license? How have other people-powered radio stations made a difference?
 
Get on the Air! Building community radio stations for social change 
April 24, 2013 
8 - 9pm EST/ 5 - 6pm PST

In a time of increased media consolidation that drowns out diverse voices, the community radio initiative presents a tremendous opportunity to highlight local issues in cities and towns across the country. It's the biggest chance in a generation for communities of color, women, and workers to own the airwaves. Is there a city where you want to grow your base and build your media presence? What if we had a progressive station in every state capitol? Check out availability estimates in the top 150 markets and forward this email to others.

 

This hour-long webinar will teach you all the basics to start or support a new community radio station. We'll share the history and impact of low power FM radio, nuts and bolts of the FCC application process, and free tools to help you get started. There will be time for questions and answers. This is the starting point to getting on the air!
