Excited about new radio voice

Posted on by Letters

This mountain town will soon have a new voice on the radio waves: AshevilleFM. Broadcasting as WSFM-LP at 103.3 FM from the roof of the Indigo Hotel, this all-volunteer radio station will feature locally-produced news, music, and community affairs programming, as well as national programs like Democracy Now!

The folks at AshevilleFM have been producing great programming for years as an online station, and this March, finally received a broadcast license from the FCC. Since they are a non-profit, there are no corporate owners or advertisers, no separate revenue stream supporting it. This great new local voice only reaches the airwaves with your help.

Go to AshevilleFM.org to see what sort of great programming will soon be hitting your radio, and how you can be a part of it.
