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
