Seattle, WA (PRWEB) August 11, 2015 -- Youth will take over a pop-up radio station and 8-foot-tall radio tower at the flagship event for National Radio Day, Aug. 20. Brown Paper Tickets is co-creating the first coast-to-coast celebration honoring National Radio Day with non-commercial radio stations in more than 30 cities across America. The Seattle event also offers an opportunity for anyone to suggest programming ideas for seven new hyper-local low-power FM radio stations recently licensed by the FCC to begin broadcasting across 90% of Seattle neighborhoods.

“A low-power FM radio station is like community glue,” said Roach. “It helps neighbors to organize, share, and find solutions. It’s a powerful tool for more equitable community development.” Roach said.

Post this

“These new media outlets will be community resources, like The Seattle Public Library,” said Sabrina Roach, Doer for Brown Paper Tickets and lead organizer for the coast-to-coast celebration of National Radio Day. Roach’s role as a Doer affords her the opportunity to work full time on building capacity for public media outlets and public communications infrastructure; she’s serving as the lead organizer for the first coast-to-coast observance of National Radio Day in partnership with non-commercial radio stations across the United States.

“A low-power FM radio station is like community glue,” said Roach. “It helps neighbors to organize, share, and find solutions. It’s a powerful tool for more equitable community development.” Roach said.

WHAT:         

National Radio Day Flagship Event

• An 8-foot radio tower is powered-up for National Radio Day and goes “on the air.”
o The tower is a symbolic icon for seven new hyper-local neighborhood radio stations in the process of building low-power FM community-owned and operated media outlets to serve 90% of Seattle’s neighborhoods.

• A National Radio Day pop-up radio station, where local youth interview the leaders of the seven new hyper-local stations, as well as:
o The public is invited to get on the radio and talk about how low-power FM could help Seattle communities.
o Special guest interviews and programming will be announced closer to National Radio Day.

• The “Sound of Tomorrow” Seattle Neighborhood Radio Coverage Map is unveiled.
o Copies of map and information on how to volunteer and support these new hyper-local neighborhood stations are distributed to the public.
o Individual coverage maps for all seven new Seattle radio stations are displayed.

• A “Make Radio” table where youth are building mini-radio towers and the public is invited to suggest programs.

WHEN:    

Thursday, Aug. 20, 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
                                    
WHERE:    

4th Avenue Plaza in front of The Seattle Public Library, Central Branch.

WHO:        

Youth from CADMA and youth from Hollow Earth Radio will take over the pop-up radio station. Special guests for National Radio Day will be announced closer to the event.

Sabrina Roach, Brown Paper Tickets Doer, lead organizer of the coast-to-coast National Radio Day celebration.

Hollow Earth Radio and Seattle University Radio live broadcast.
                                                                                                                                                                                
Representatives from seven new nonprofit hyper-local low-power FM radio stations with construction permits recently issued by the FCC to serve 90% of Seattle neighborhoods.

Open to the public.

WHY?    

A way for Seattle to celebrate National Radio Day, and an opportunity to educate the public on the potential for power and influence they now control with these new media outlets.

Background:

Washington Senator Maria Cantwell and Arizona Senator John McCain sponsored the Local Community Radio Act, which allows nonprofits to own and operate radio stations in the nation’s largest urban areas for the first time.

Seattle-based Brown Paper Tickets, a Not-Just-For-Profit social enterprise, has been hiring change-makers called Doers to build stronger communities, since 2010.

Sabrina’s mission as a Doer is working on building capacity for the tools and infrastructure for more equitable community development -- public media and municipal broadband. For more information,
go to http://community.brownpapertickets.com/Doers/radio.html.

Doers are Brown Paper Tickets’ unique expression of giving back to communities with a human resource – a person to inspire, provoke thought and creative solutions, to provide leadership on initiatives as well as the connections and even the hands-on assistance to make them happen.
