Mini Documentary on Free Radio Berkeley

http://www.freeradio.org/index.php?pagename=frb/about.html


Founded on April 11, 1993 as a Free Speech voice challenging the regulatory structure and power of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Free Radio Berkeley has been engaged in an ongoing legal battle with the FCC. Until it was silenced by a court injunction in June 1998, Free Radio Berkeley was broadcasting 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at 104.1 FM with 50 watts of power as the alternative voice for the greater Berkeley/Oakland area. The original Free Speech mission to provide community news, discussions and interviews, information, a wide range of music, and more has now been taken up by Berkeley Liberation Radio.

Fuck NPR

I expect this shit from the NAB regrading Low Power FM licenses....but NPR?

"Both NPR and the NAB maintain their opposition somewhat paradoxically, given the fact that they appear perfectly fine with second adjacent waivers for translator stations. The only difference between translators and LPFM stations is who owns and programs them (and they’re not likely to be NAB or NPR affiliates)."

What fucking assholes.

Everyone:  Please, pull your contributions to these lying through their teeth sacks of shit.  NPR is trying to shut down REAL community radio using the exact same methods as Clear Channel and all the others.
