How about broadcasting our UU messages on the public airwaves?

The new UUs and Allies Nationwide Community Radio Network is forming now.

Can you imagine UU community radio stations across the U.S. sharing the good news of our religion along with great local programming?

Can you see us partnering with other like-minded groups in our towns to create a resource that strengthens our outreach and highlights clear thinking, sensible news casting, and local talent?

Thanks to the work of many people, the Low Power Community Radio passed in 2011, paving the way for the release of the LAST 2000-3000 low power FM broadcast frequencies that will be awarded by the FCC to communities in the U.S.

The time to prepare is now. There will be a very short window of time for the applications to be filed this year. Be ready! Some preliminary actions are needed immediately. Prometheus Radio is gathering information on interested applicants in February, 2012. Be one of them! Start talking with interested people and potential partner organizations. Keep abreast of the latest information from the FCC. Sign up for info and training here: http://prometheusradio.org/want_to_start_a_station

Submit the Group Profile of your congregation here: http://prometheusradio.org/content/applicant-support.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in 2012 that will not happen again.
This is an opportunity we don’t want to miss.
If we don’t capture these airwaves, the radical right will.
