Low Power Radio in Olympia Wash -- Media Island International

by dyslexic daneo (cuibono [at] rcip.com)
Media Island International is about to launch KOWA, a low power community radio station in Olympia, Washington state. Activists & community members will have access, and be enabled to help realize the Media Island mission.
Media Island International is in the process of building KOWA, an
Olympia,WA based low power community radio station. Activist and community
members will be able to further the mission of Media Island International
through the access of KOWA radio.

Currently, we are busy raising funds for this project in order to acquire
the needed solar power and radio transmission equipment.

The mission of Media Island International is to act as a resource and
networking center for individuals, organizations and movements working on
social justice, economic democracy, ecological sustainability and
peace. We gather, evaluate and distribute underpublished information on
critical issues. The truth is getting harder to hide.
The broadcast signal will be localized to the Thurston County area carried
over 106.5 FM using call letters KOWA. Translator applications have also
been filed with the FCC and are pending which if granted will give us a
more consistent sphere of reach.

The addition of a low-power radio station to Media Island International
will be an added value to the organization and to the communities that this
organization serves. With this added form of outreach Media Island
International will be able to provide typically marginalized voices access
to the airwaves and eventually to webstreaming.

We have a goal of raising $15,000.00 by August 2004 and are suggesting at
least a $20.00 minimum donation. If you can give more it is greatly
appreciated. We encourage community groups, matching donors, and
individuals to become vested in this effort and commit to this project by
donating to it. Along with your donation you are invited to include your
suggestion for what type(s) of information you would like to hear broadcast
over KOWA.

Please help Media Island International realize this part of its vision by
donating to this project.
