Idaho Radio News Etc.

Jeff Abrams – director of Boise Community Radio Project dropped a line in comments to respond to our September 18th item on the project’s slow progress.

Hello. I’m glad we’re still on everyone’s radar screen. After almost 18 months of webcasting from downtown, we are more of a broadcast service than ever, streaming content that originates here, in Boise (except our independently produced syndicated content).

As far as your header “still not on the air” – unless someone has figured out a way to bypass the FCC non-com freeze – I’m wondering why any “sources”, engineers or technical types are surprised we are not operating terrestrially. Our website is updated as news/events warrant, including announcements of upcoming fundraisers, etc such as our recent Amy Goodman benefit. We remain confident that our engineering strategy for obtaining a license is sound and we’re eagerly anticipating the day that the FCC opens the non-com window (potentially this spring) for new applications!

Regards,

Jeff Abrams
