radioforpeople.org, paul sweet radio?

okay I cannot stress, how big of a deal this is. guys, the fcc is giving us the chance to become a legitimate media outlet. the pirate life is going to die, read the sentinal. its time. and not just here, everywhere. show people who have resources to start a radio station before its too late, because from now on the rules are, do what you want: as long as the masons know, -its cool...

"the fcc provides the one week window for the community groups to file station applications

this is a once in a generation oppertunity. the fcc is offering a one week window, oct 12-19 during which non profit community groups in the us can file for an application. this is huge, don't let it go without doing what we can.

Think for a moment what a powerful noncommercial radio station could do in your community... people forget that these are bublic airwaves, and the public is not getting access to them.

and right now, from coast to coast, from alaska, hawaii to florida to maine, people are organizing to reclaim the small portion of the public airwaves there are left. the october fcc application window for full power non commercial fm licenses is an opportunity to make a meaningful longterm contribution to your local media landscape - to help give a voice to the voiceless to carry on the fine tradition... check out getradio.org start your own community radio station, and wipe that smile right off rupert murdoch's face"

to agler, podcasts are a legistical nightmare, and radio is for murdoch, but this is the once chance you have for your show, if agler wants a show and gives a shit, this is how. if he doesn't fine, but basically this is the chance for whoever cares.

I dunno, its a big deal, it might sound confusing, but its not really, run you're own radio station, legit. thats about it, and the fcc wont bust you.

you need to be able to prove that you can support it for 3 months, they make it sound like its about money, that way they want you to think it costs 250'000 dollars, don't let that fool you. you need a place and an antenna, both things we either have or know where to get (for far less than it would cost for murdoch)

this could be self-sustaining as well, do you know how much you can get from sponsors like coffeeshops, venues and local stores? new leaf and staff of life, -all legal because this would be legit.

not to mention, bouncing signals from other stations in other towns, states or countries... people pay to have their show played in other areas they cant reach, -have the show streamed live (save maybe 30 seconds) to your station and broadcast it out, -totally legit, and fcc approved. -they pay big money for that, -thats how 91.9 survives (bbc)

sounds kind of interesting to me, we could have a reggae show in the trees, and then rent out a latino show, etc.

think about people who don't have this opportunity. A source for getting internet content broadcast on radiowaves is widely needed.

ask for new york, its good there too, you guys should do what you can or find someone you know to do it. this is probably much more significant over there where you have a larger population per foot ratio!
