This would be a great campaign to present as a workshop during the World Forum on Free Media in Montreal this August. Many non-profit radios work in contexts where the community knows very little about the sector/station. Today is the last day to submit proposals: http://www.fmml.net/spip.php?article161 FYI - I am on the local organizing committee and there are lots of great proposals coming in relevant for community/non-profit radio. Please stay tuned for the preliminary schedule!!

COMMUNITY RADIO There are some organizations where providing media and community access is their primary function. This can include (but is not limited to) independent media centers, public access programmers and providers and other organizations that were set up for the purpose of providing community media in a manner where the community has input into the programming and the direction of the station. CAUSE-BASED These are organizations whose primary purpose is not broadcasting but decided to expand into broadcasting in order to get their voice heard. This can include advocacy groups for minorities, labor, LGBT, etc. Keep in mind that organizations that would fall under the high level of cause-based can also meet some of the attributes of community radio, especially if the licensee organization is being used as a "host". If you are using the suggest function on the scoreboard, please go ahead and make your best guess. For the purpose of the community station directory, both community and cause-based stations will be listed. The Community Radio category is different than the MICRORADIO category. The Microradio category consists of organizations that were founded for the primary purpose of broadcasting, is usually managed by a single person or a small group, operates a particular format (usually music) and does not have a structured governance or community input. The microradio category is not flagged in our systems for inclusion in the community-focused station lists as the community does not necessarily have any real input into the station's programming. In other words, they run like a commercial station but (in most cases we hope) without the commercials. Again, make your best guess.. There are sub-segmenting that I will be adding. =m On 6/6/2016 11:27 PM, Joan Ross wrote: > I might need some help in understanding Community vs Caused-based > organization. > > Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android > > > On Mon, Jun 6, 2016 at 5:19 PM, Michelle Bradley via grc > wrote: > > I have written a modification to LPFM Scoreboard that will allow > volunteers to be able to classify an LPFM station into one of the REC > six segments: > > * Community > * Government > * Microradio > * Cause-based Organization > * Faith Based > * Educational Institution > > Go ahead and access the Scoreboard like you normally do. > > For window 2 (2013) LPFM stations: > http://recnet.net/scoreboard.php?wind=2 > > For window 1 (2000/2001) LPFM stations: > http://recnet.net/scoreboard.php?wind=1 > > Access the individual state list.

Here's our current situation: We have approximately 300,000 CD's and an on again, off again ripping project. We receive digital files (as opposed to physical media) from record companies and independent artists. Currently, we are burning these files onto blank CD's. We would like to stop burning CD's and create a digital storage and playback system for new files and all the material we've ripped previously. Questions: what do you use? Do you recommend buying a system from a vendor or custom building one of our own? What are some of the details we need to consider in terms of integrating storage and playback? What sort of interfaces work best? (we would like a system that is DJ intuitive and user friendly...) Thanks for your assistance! Cheers, dave goodman WMBR, Cambridge -- I.B.I.S.

We found no available software that fit the bill -- we found lots of full-blown automation software and of course things like RealPlayer and VLC. So I thought 'why not' and wrote custom software that replicated the base IR functionality and allowed the station management to do their normal administrative tasks, like assigning carts per program. And something with a gentle learning curve. And relatively foolproof. Anyway, I severely underestimated the effort -- not just developing the software but working within the system to get it adopted. Even though the price was right (free), there was a lot of FUD, and complaints but it has been up and running now for 6 or 7 years. I'd call it a success but that was largely due to a couple of staff members who championed the project. As a part-time volunteer, I don't have a lot of sway or influence. So far, nobody has come up with better else. As to the question about building one of your own, proceed with caution. For one thing, software development needs QA, needs testing. I managed to rally a few folks together as testers a time or two but it was never rigorous. Any new system needs training/evangelism. Another issue is time and resource commitments from volunteer developers (that's me). And don't forget support (again, that's me). In short, if I had to do it again I might not. Having said all that, if anyone is interested in the software, feel free to contact me directly. best, Jim On 6/10/2016 10:02, David Goodman via grc wrote: > Friends and colleagues: > > I'm hoping you can offer some advice and suggestions based on your > experiences... > My station is looking to purchase (or build) and install a digital playback > system for our DJ's. > > Here's our current situation: We have approximately 300,000 CD's and an on > again, off again ripping project.

Looks like there's also two Greyhound bus trips a day from Little Rock. Driving to Palenville last year was a slight adventure but a one day drive is always a good thing. If anyone is getting a room, I would suggest booking ASAP because there's also going to be a documentary film festival in town during the GRC. I already have my room, flight and car booked for this. We'll see you there (unless I get pulled over and almost arrested for "driving while trans" like on my last visit to Arkansas) =m On 6/16/2016 6:33 PM, Donna via grc wrote: > Last years grc conference, believe it or not was easier to get to then Hot Springs.

However the initial momentum has worn off and there has been very little update by our members. We need your help to get the word out. You can reach over 1 million people! Here is what you can do: 1) Create a PSA (or 5), air them on the station (hourly would be great), and SHARE them with other stations here. The information about what goes on it is located here , so PLEASE develop and start to share. Please pass us a copy! 2) Social media: Like the above, that is a key to getting eyes on the project. Here is some already made images to share, and more can be found here . Why not make your own and share it? Please share with us Why not put them on your website, like BCIT has! 3) Sign the petitions yourself, and TWEET/Facebook/Email/Call your own carriers. This is what will make them happen. You can find out how to do that here We have been told at the conference this is an amazing thing we are doing and it can really help impact the community sector to gather more listeners, but two staff here at the office cant do the work, it lands on the stations to reach out and publish it. I am happy to provide more information, interviews etc as needed. Additionally: NextRadio App will be on google play July 1st, so those mobile devices that are already authorized will have access to your station! Please share, please promote please help get FM radio on your phone!

We are planning a seriously amazing conference. I'm personally covering "Solar Powering an LPFM"..the full enchilada. Our topics will be very diverse and comprehensive. The list of speakers and evening events will be un-paralleled in GRC history. As well, Hot Springs is such an amazing little city - (and so affordable) I fully expect that many of you will not return home.This place is like the Catskills was - at it's peak. Thermal baths, Island-hopping at the lakes, galleries galore, Poetry, art, music, pristine air and water, mountains downtown and 2.6 million acres of national forest to the North. You'll never forget this one! So please join us.... Bob Nagy - KUHS LP Chief Eng. Oct. 7-11 2016 Hot Springs National Park
