NW Community Radio

Community radio stations from Alaska to Oregon came together in Sept. 06 to form a regional network for locally-rooted great radio, at the Northwest Community Radio Summit. Reclaim the Media is helping to catalyze this project.

Upcoming activities include planned regional convenings over the next year in Vancouver, Eugene, Spokane, and Anchorage. Community station representatives will also be holding organizing meetings to move forward towards a functioning network.

Listen Up Northwest is a collaboratively produced radio magazine featuring stories of communities in action throughout the Northwest. Each broadcast highlights the work of skilled community radio producers and artists from our region, including Alaska, British Columbia, Washingon, Idaho, Montana and Oregon.

The pilot broadcast (for the first week of April 2008) features pieces on an environmental initiative of the Samish Nation, (Robin Carneen/KSVR), homelessness in Seattle (Adam Vaughn/KBCS), arts and empowerment in women's prisons (Julie Sabatier/Destination DIY) and remembering Japanese internment (Marianne Gutteridge/KSER).
