Fighting for Air in Boston, Massachusetts! |
|
Boston, Massachusetts has been abuzz with the story of Touch FM, an unlicensed and internet community radio station serving the African-American community of downtown Boston. When the last black-owned radio station in Boston was purchased by a big media company (a process mentioned in this earlier article from the Globe last year) community leaders got together to start Touch FM, to promote a positive, local message of community growth and pride in Boston's black neighborhoods.
Now, as the station faces major fines for broadcasting without a license, they are fighting for low power FM to be expanded to Boston and beyond with the passage of the Local Community Radio Act, House Bill 2802, Senate Bill 1675. You can tell your legislators to cosponsor these vital bills -- to bring community radio to Boston and beyond!
Read June 23rd's Boston Globe editorial on the importance of expanding LPFM, and this article on the great work the station is doing in Boston and beyond.
