a quote from...

...the Station Manager

It takes a village and some people to make the Village

you got yourself a broadcast on WEFT.

fm band expands?

From The Medium is the Message byEric Schnell.

Schnell thinks that if the FCC expands the FM band to take over analog channels it might increase the number of community radio stations. Viva diversity!
