 Radio Activity
UPDATE: The Radio Activity page is expanding its scope to include news on wireless and mobile services that increase access to internet radio. This market is expanding and maturing turning your cell phone into a multi-media receiver. G-town Radio is excited by the possibility of reaching more people in more ways than ever before and will keep you up to date on the latest news. G-town Radio is a strong proponent of a municipal wireless network for Philadelphia. At a time when traditional media outlets are inaccessible, and often one-sided, alternative forms of media need to be developed. The Radio Activity section of this site serves as a type of newswire for relevant stories on the unfolding wireless network in Philadelphia and the Low Power FM (LPFM) movement going on nationwide. For more information on LPFM we recommend you visit the Prometheus Radio Project. This local organization works on the front lines of media democratization helping numerous community groups across the nation start their own LPFM radio stations. G-town Radio also recommends MuniWireless, a portal for news and information about citywide wireless broadband projects around the world.
