Radio San Diego?
Activist
San Diego will be convening a series of meetings in
the coming months to build community involvement in
our full power FM Radio project. Activist San Diego
has been awarded a full power FM license by the Federal
Communications Commission and we will be working toward
establishing that station in the coming months and years.
It is our intention for this to be a truly grass roots
institution were the content is created by the diverse
sections of the San Diego Progressive, Left, Radical
community. Please contact us if you are interested in
helping out with our community outreach efforts.
