Life lessons in community radio
December 10th, 2007 | by Andrew Ó Baoill |Bill Weye of WXOJ (Valley Free Radio) learnt an important lesson about community radio recently:
Chris reassured us that putting out fires and keeping the latest crisis in check is what running a community radio station is all about, that what many of the people at VFR feel is normal. That was great news, I think, and it seemed like the round table discussion helped the VFR folks in a couple of different ways: 1) reassuring us that crisis in not the end of the world, that we just had to be consistantly there for the community, and 2) giving us some specific glimpses at what kind of work that’s needed to build a long lasting community radio station.
Definitely true from my experience in different stations (at very different stages of development) and good to keep in mind.
