If you don’t receive the Grimey’s newsletter or read our tweets you may not be privy to the knowledge that Radio Free Nashville WRFN is potentially in the position to upgrade their signal. Here’s the exact blurb from station organizer Ginny Welsch:
With the passage of the Community Radio Act earlier this year, and the subsequent opening of formerly unavailable third-adjacent frequencies, RFN may have an opportunity to change to a clean frequency, one with no other station on it and no interference, that will greatly improve our reach into Nashville and beyond. The FCC is meeting today to determine if LPFMs like our will be allowed to apply for the frequencies and take precedence over already filed translator applications to make the move.
So, how can you help? Well, if you’re experienced in the world of FCC forms you can get in touch with them to help them with the application process. If, like me, you’re just a regular schmo that wants a quality replacement for the loss of WRVU, you can make a donation. The more funds they have the better suited they will be to keep the ball moving forward on filling our airwaves with an eclectic and varietal landscape of sound.
