A Litttle (Portland OR) Station that CAN - Prevent Corporatocracy from Owning ALL the Airwaves. Thom Hartmann, himself, is losing an audience in Portland because this sole, lonely station is the only progressive location on the dial. Or, was until Clear Channel closed one out and put in a Sports replacement. No voice for us? Not if you can help it. More details, then go to the link: Making a radio station isnt cheap. Your contribution will help us with the fixed costs of launching the station. We need an antenna and the money to get it put up. We need a couple of computers and the software to make them hum. We need mixing boards and microphones. We need turntables and a few more records to spin. Thanks to our allies in the community radio movement, we already have an FCC license to broadcast. That’s a big deal! Now we need your help getting the rest of the way to a real live radio station launch. Most of the radio stations in this country are owned by five media conglomerates. Independent radio is a strong, but small movement that will need a lot of support from communities to thrive. Along with our allies at radio stations all over the country, we will show that this can work. We have a lot to learn. What we learn we’ll share with other stations starting up in other places. We hope to build a model that can help strengthen a movement around small local stations around the country. In an important sense, this is not just about one station or one town. This is about democracy working better, the media working better, and places playing to their distinctive strengths, not merely their vanilla denominator. kickstarter/projects/4023949/xrayfm-the-little-station-with-big-ideas
