Now More Than Ever. Support Community Radio.

It's not just NPR. The Corporation for Public Broadcasting has supported many smaller outlets that are often crucial for tribal and rural communities.
cjr.org/news/public-radio-stat

"Community and Tribal radio are lifelines in emergencies. AM/FM radio is the most reliable medium when power, internet, and cell networks fail (FCC, 2018 Emergency Communications Report). Battery-powered radios ensure people in isolated areas receive life-saving information. Community radio is also a cultural anchor, giving local musicians and artists airtime and exposure unavailable on commercial airwaves."

Close to my own heart is KBOO.fm, voted Best Radio Station in Portland, Oregon in Willamette Week's latest reader's poll (though WW links to one of the finalists instead of either the winner or second place, so that's odd).

But you can support KBOO at interland3.donorperfect.net/we

So, apparently one of my favorite stations, #WMPG, lost their #CPBFunding a few years ago (but did receive a big grant a couple of years ago to help the station make much-needed upgrades, including a new transmitter).

But for the last few years, they have been relying on community support, local #Underwriters, and have found other ways to donate (Clynk bottle returns, proceeds from junk car donations, etc). And a university department "adopted" the station to help with funding, but who knows if that will still be there!

WMPG working to qualify for a CPB Community Service Grant again

March 13, 2023

"You may have noticed that we no longer have CPB underwriting announcements read after some of our programs. This is due to WMPG no longer receiving this funding. For more than 20 years WMPG has received this funding but last year we lost the funding due to no longer meeting their qualifications. Radio stations like ours need to meet certain criteria to be funded including the number of listeners as measured by a ratings agency, the number of paid staff, the amount of non-federal funds raised and financial reports. We had an issue with our financial reports which led to this. We are working hard to re-qualify and starting in July will move under a department at USM. We are hoping this will lead to another 20 years of funding from this important source of support!"

Kicking myself that Radio Free Fedi Fest 25 has come and gone, and I missed it.
That said, I'm grateful @radiofreefedi has such a positive presence on Mastodon, that they're showcasing such a diverse and innovative bunch of musicians, and that their recommendations have helped me discover and follow some more creative people on Mastodon. For more background on what Radio Free Fedi is about and an example of their strong sense of community, see this thread: musician.social/@radiofreefedi

Musician.Socialradio free fedi (@radiofreefedi@musician.social)I'm gonna need you to try and keep the artist advocacy torch burning. Lift each other up. Celebrate diversity. Demand tools we need as organic communities, not platforms that make us work even more unpaid jobs and harass/exhaust/silence us or extinguish out creative spark. Push for consent and agency and collaboration. And as direct as possible support in whatever ways we can be amiable with and that artists can manage to navigate! 5/

I understand. It's an ethos.

Unlike Jim Oberstar, Pete Stauber will never have a Great Lakes freighter named for him.

John Rash in the Strib: Amid a time of crisis for public media, [KAXE's Sarah] Bignall was asked about an email her representative, Pete Stauber, sent an Eighth District constituent regarding rescissions. “Unfortunately,” he wrote, NPR and PBS, “which receive taxpayer funding through the CPB, have been inappropriately subsidizing politically biased content.”

“I have a feeling,” said Bignall, that he hasn’t “tuned into KAXE.”
