Wanna help get KMUZ rolling? See our official website, kmuz(dot)org, and click on the "volunteer" link. Sign up for various volunteer positions, propose your own ideas, and/or donate money to the station. (We will not be able to build the station without funds, of course.) Our first meeting was a SMASHING SUCCESS, and we will be holding our second meeting in July, exact day/time TBA!
KMUZ is the soon-to-be non-commercial community FM radio station that will exist at 88.5 FM in the Salem/Albany area, along with internet streaming. KMUZ, aka "Radio Free Salem" will be a full-power station.
We recently received our construction permit from the FCC which means we will have a broadcast license. With the construction permit in hand, we can now begin building the station! We're honing in on a studio location now, and are starting to write grants.
On-the-air won't be until sometime in 2010, but there's a lot to be done before then. Being a DJ will be fun, but building a radio station will be a blast!
What will we broadcast? Well, we are all about DIVERSITY and COMMUNITY OWNERSHIP. We want to give a voice to those who are not given a voice in mainstream media--namely, local folks with engaging ideas and/or news. And then there's the MUSIC...the kind that you won't hear on commercial radio. Pull out your record collections--anything goes. The station will evolve as people from our fair city step up to offer their music and thoughts to the rest of us.
The sponsoring non-profit organization for this radio station hopeful is the Salem Folklore Community. Thanks for your help, SFC! http://www.salemfolklore.org
