I never thought I'd be putting up advertising here. Well, this is an announcement for a non-commercial community radio talk show.
Cutting Edge with CC today from 4 - 7 pm on KWMD
104.5 FM and 87.7 FM in Anchorage,
90.7 Kenai.
92.5 Eagle River
107.9 Wasilla
Guests include Cary Carrigan, Patti Higgins, Bob Poe and The Demo Memo with Sen. Johnny Ellis!
Phone in at 771-0205.
They'll have an 800 number to give out at 4:00 pm.
And the thing is, Out North also has a legal signal that they won from the FCC last year. I hear there has been no action to mount a station and that the license will lapse this August.
ReplyDeleteIt was always our hope that folks who wanted to organize a station would come out of the woodwork. Before I left, there were at least 20 people who said they wanted to make it work and this is a bit of the proof of that.
The idea was to have ON work with Jeremy's group and a possible new group out in Palmer to make an alternative radio network to APRN--a group that could get on the ground to follow local events whether cultural, political, religious, youth, or just trouble-making.
It has been painful to watch and slow in birth. If folks want this stuff to happen--old media working in new media ways--here's the chance. Write in here and post a name and contact. Steve can forward it on to Jeremy or whatever and we'll get something more going than twittering!
Heck, I can even find some cool European source material over here. Anyone interested in international contributions?
I noticed you didn't publish my comment that was in support of CC but critical of Cary Carrigan. Here is a link that delves into why Cary is a problem; pay paarticular attention to the comments. Cary not only is a lousy talk show host, he is a "school yard BULLY!"

Anon, I didn't see (or reject) your previous comment. Not sure what happened to it. This one is up now.
