Help CHIRP start 2009 right!
Posted by Shawn C. on December 31, 2008 around 12pm
CHIRP is excited about the promise of 2009. We plan to launch our new music and arts-focused community radio station on the web in the first quarter of the new year, and we also continue to work to change the law at the federal level so that we can eventually secure a broadcast license as well.
The Congressional sponsors of the Local Community Radio Act say they will reintroduce the bill early in the new session, and promise they will push hard for a vote. The bill previously had been held up in the House Commerce Committee, but we’re optimistic that new chair Henry Waxman, a supporter of our bill, will help move it through.
There are a couple of ways you can help CHIRP start 2009 on the right foot. You can click the “donate” button on the left side of the page to make a contribution. Your donations will help us pay for things like studio build-out, rent, and streaming costs.
