Works In Progress - June 2003 - 91.3 FM: Liberate The Airwaves!

In the midst of the chaos and confusion surrounding America's "Bush Wars", Olympia has gained an important new presence on the radio dial. Friends of independent media have now declared 91.3 FM to be a Liberated Frequency, and they are engaged in an ongoing project to "free the airwaves", through sustained civil disobedience. Their aim: To bring the people of Olympia access to more alternative information and culture than has heretofore been available, and ultimately to provide a permanent voice for those disenfranchised by the "New World Order".

91.3 has brought listeners a wide array of alternative broadcasting, including shows like Flashpoints, Democracy Now!, Radio Free School, and Unwelcome Guests, as well as broadcasters like Free Radio Olympia, Radio Volta, and Freak Radio Santa Cruz. We strive to be on the air 24 hours a day. Check us out all over Olympia, and a little beyond. Fine-tune your antenna if you need better reception and/or try setting you receiver to "mono".

In these days of media consolidation and the mainstreaming of public radio, grassroots community radio is extremely important, indeed now even more than ever. Check us out at various times of the day, and you just might find something that you really like!

"Free Speech" is not an abstraction, and it is not a gift from the bureaucrats. It is our birthright, and a global movement is reclaiming the media as an organizing tool. Please join us.
