What is community radio?
-
West Side Community Radio, a volunteer-operated not-for-profit project of the West Side Theatre Foundation, expects to provide programming not carried by any other station in the local area. This would include local public affairs (politics, art, poetry, science, agriculture, etc.); cultural, independent, and progressive music artists; information on community events and activities; local/alternative/independent news; and other educational programming. Members of the public would have opportunities to volunteer at the station regardless of past radio experience.

Before the station ever begins broadcasting at 90.7FM (initial potential audience of approximately 16,000), there is much groundwork to be done. In order to provide radio broadcast facilities to promote and aid the creative skills and cultural welfare of the community, help is needed in the following areas: project planning, fundraising, broadcast engineering, publicity, volunteer coordinating, clerical/office tasks, audio/studio tech, carpentry/electrical, budgeting, accounting, documentation, Web site authoring, Information Technology (software, hardware, social media, networking, streaming, etc.), legal, grant proposals, and just about anything else it would take to get a “small business” off the ground. Cash and equipment donations welcome!

If you are excited by the prospect of a collaborative, community-centered radio station coming to the West Side, it’s very likely there will be opportunities for you to get involved with helping make it happen, no matter what your skill set is. To volunteer and/or get more information, please send e-mail to: info (at) westsideradio (dot) org, telephone: (209) 690.7247, or drop a note to: Broadcasting Project, West Side Theatre Foundation, PO Box 202, Newman, CA 95360
