A rare opportunity for Bainbridge Island to have its own community radio station: BBC Regular ANNETTE WALKER will lead a roundtable discussion on this exciting proposition!

Sustainable Bainbridge is working with the community to develop a proposal for a low-power FM radio license from the FCC. Being low-power, coverage will be to Bainbridge Island only. The station would be for community radio, also broadcasting in emergency situations such as a power outages, weather emergencies, volcano explosions, tsunamis, zombie outbreaks or other disasters.

A wide range of programming of general and specific community interest is being sought. The radio signal could be accompanied by streaming on-demand listening.

Barry Peters is pulling the project together, and BBC Regular Annette Walker (astonishinc.com) has been working with Barry and other volunteers to spread the word and contribute to making a great application to the FCC. Application is due October 15th. A public meeting will be September 17, 7:00-8:30 PM, at Waterfront Park Community Center.
