You’ve probably noticed the content crisis on your
radio right now—there’s too few good radio
stations out there promoting diverse and local music
and talk programming. Maybe you’ve resorted to
downloading most of you music online. Or maybe you
listen to expensive digital radio. It doesn’t have
to be this way!
Common Frequency is working to build more college
and community radio stations to solve this crisis. Pay
digital radio services like XM and Sirius don’t
solve much because it’s the same old companies
promoting mediocre programming— just on more
channels. On the traditional FM dial, companies like
Clear Channel and the American Family Association are
buying up more and more frequencies on all parts of
the dial. Clear Channel alone now owns 1200 radio
stations and the company owns 247 stations in the
nation's largest 250 markets. In the next few months
we will have a chance to license an unprecedented
number of new community/college stations and we need
your help.
We are building teams of volunteers and interns who
want to help build more college and community radio
stations across the country. Be a part of the movement
to shift the tide of the content crisis. Right now, we
need help building our website, creating promotional
materials, reaching out to communities across the
community and building new radio communities.
