Part One: BIRTH OF A STATION: Hundreds of people from across the nation came to solder, saw and support the creation of new low power FM stations. In one weekend, WXOJ-LP FM’s studio was built, components connected, and Valley Free Radio went live on the air. Florence Massachusetts was buzzing with activity as antennas were designed and a transmitter was built for the UAACC, a community organization formed by former black panthers, the O’Neil’s, who live in Tanzania. Elinoar Astrinsky speaks with Pete Tridish from the Prometheus Radio Project about station barn raisings, organizing and radio activism.
OPTIONAL CUTAWAY CUE: “You’re listening to Voices of Our World” at 14:00.
Part Two: MANY HANDS MAKE LIGHT WORK: “Radio is not just the jingle machine of the airwaves. It can be used to right wrongs, to stop injustices, to make a difference for people.” That’s what Pete Tridish said while telling how the Coalition of Immoklee Workers used their station to assemble farm workers and demand back wages. Come join the parade and hear Valley Free Radio’s first broadcast.
End Cue: “And please be sure to join us next time for more Voices of Our World.” At 28:00.
Can be broadcast at 14:00 or 28:00 minutes. Format fits well into either time slot.
