Free Media and Bottom Up Media

Lot's going on in this area.

The Real Public Radio Network guys are up and running at www.rprn.org.

The Open Media Network is in beta (http://www.omn.org/)

And the podcasting world is taking over. Podcasting is as close to pirate radio on the internet as anything I've seen or heard of. A local company called clickcaster (www.clickcaster.com) is developing software for this. Adam Curry's making it real with www.podshow.com and a company called Odeo (www.odeo.com) is making something as off in Silicon Valley.

There's even a station (AM) in San Fransisco that's going to do all podcasts submitted by listeners. Now THAT'S Pirate radio, with a license. They're calling them selves 'KYOURradio - Open Source Radio at: www.kyourradio.com

The world is a changing folks. A transmitter isn't even required anymore to have a voice.

Of course, it would be nice, but, no longer required.

Technorati Profile

Been a long couple of months.

Everything is gone. We're OK. Heard some rumors about FCC harrassment of old roommates. Not sure though, can't get hold of anyone to verify. No one in the BURG group has had any contact from the feds since the Jan. bust. Everythings shut down, sold, dispersed, gone, dead, ashes to ashes dust to dust.

Man, how depressing. Everything's gone dark. But it was time.

FINAL UPDATE....

Welcome to Fascist America.

KBFR is gone. We are done.

We are simple folk with simple dreams who just wanted a voice in our community.

KBFR: RIP

The station was shut down, again, yesterday in the late afternoon. One year, to the day (Jan 11th) from the last FCC visit.

Apparently the host (who was understandly upset at FCC agents at the front door) didn't get any kind of written warning. First time. This feels somehow different than other FCC visits.
