What is Community Radio

• 
  • Commercial-free, independent radio programmed by volunteers
  • Radio that provides musical diversity and local, issues-oriented programs
  • Radio serving the needs of its local community
  • Radio that "democratizes" public media by making it accessible
  

Community Radio is Important:

1. Strengthens the "cultural health" of a region
2. Empowers citizens by providing a forum for a diversity of viewpoints and ideas
3. Promotes awareness of community-based organizations and services
4. Supports local
   artists, musicians, and cultural activities
5. Offers an effective instrument for community development
6. Compliments local educational efforts
