Join us to start a monthly online radio program live every second Saturday of the month. Meet members of the work team for the community radio project and see how you can get involved. Record announcements that will air on the online radio version of the station that will launch in May. And come and listen to students and other community members document their community. You can bring recordings of local bands, interviews withe anyone from Greene or Columbia Counties, or other recordings from the community to air on an online radio stream.

Studios for the station will be in the Catskill Community Center as well as in Hudson, and other towns throughout the two counties, and live programming may also originate from a number of other local venues, and including town meetings, workshops, lectures, school events, and local performances. “We are being overwhelmed with people calling and e-mailing that want to be involved,” says free103point9 Program Director Tom Roe. “These first public meetings are a chance for anyone who wants to be be a DJ, or help organize fundraisers, or interview your neighbors, to come out and meet others who are working to bring community radio to this area in person.” The station is hosting a community meeting and workshop for anyone who wants to get involved.

An online version of the new community radio station will begin in May, and the FM community radio station is expected to get on the air by June, 2010. To volunteer to help get the radio station started contact Tom Roe at tr@free103point9.org, or call 518-622-2598.
