CC Back on the Air - At Least Today at 5 on KWMD

Progressive talk show host Camille Conte (CC) was let go last week from KUDO. Phil discusses that story in his account of the changes at KUDO.

But today, for one more show, CC will be back on the air. KWMD is a community FM radio station run mostly by Jeremy Lansman. Jeremy is a national hero to people who know about community radio. Phil's blog covers a lot of topics and here's his piece on Jeremy from November 2007. Also, if I understood it right, Cary Carrigan may also be on. He too was let go from KUDO.

Today is a chance to hear live local radio on KWMD and to hear CC again until she gets another paying gig.

5pm

90.7 FM Kasilof,

104.5 & 87.74 FM Anchorage

107.9 FM Mat-Su

So, turn on the station now so you can find it. Set it on one of your buttons. And make sure you're back there at 4:55 pm so you can hear CC.

Jeremy says he's got it set up so CC can take phone calls, but he hasn't done that before with this equipment, so we'll see how that works. The call-in number is

(907) 771 0205

But if that doesn't work, listen for the number they give on the air.

Jeremy has cobbled this station together with his FCC and technical radio expertise and few other dedicated radioheads. But so far, he hasn't had the time and help to make the community part work. He's mostly got downloaded programs from around the country that offer listening opportunities we can't get at any other local radio stations. A week ago Friday when I was showing three African delegates to the Indigenous Peoples Summit snow at Glen Alps, I got Jeremy to set up a spur-of-the-moment live show where we talked about the conference and the three delegates' impressions of what happened.
