Prometheus Radio Project was created in 1998 by former pirate radio operators to promote the re-emergence of community radio and the democratization of the airwaves.
We fight for a more egalitarian media by helping community groups start their own community radio stations. We believe that a free, diverse, and democratic media is critical to the political and cultural health of our nation, yet we see unprecedented levels of consolidation, homogenization, and restriction in the media landscape.
In light of this increasing restriction, our primary focus for the last 10 years has been on building a large community of low power FM (LPFM) stations and listeners. We hope that this community will grow into a powerful force working toward the democratic media future we envision. Toward that end, we support community groups at every stage of the process of building community radio stations. We provided ongoing technical and station management support. We facilitate public participation in the FCC regulatory process and sponsor events promoting awareness and support of media democracy and LPFM radio.
We fight for the right of all people to use the public airwaves to make their own media.
