After six and one-half years, KVOY.org and umbrella group VoicesofOK.org have been awarded a Construction Permit by the FCC to build a Full Power Local Community Radio Station. They also have a new frequency – 104.5 FM –  that is more powerful than the previous one. 

KXCR fm on the Oregon Coast in Florence Oregon is also on-air as we speak after a successful filing with the FCC on April 18, 2014.

This summer’s Grassroots Radio Conference will be in Ames, Iowa in August, sponsored by KHOI, the station Pacifica Affiliates director Ursula Rudenberg helped build in her home town.  KHOI held a grand opening for its new studio on April 19, 2014.

Congratulations to all the wonderful and mostly unpaid workers who are changing the U.S. media landscape forever.
