BSR loses FM signal, sees opportunity after loss

As a college radio DJ at Brown University, I'm sad to say that our last day of programming ON TERRESTRIAL RADIO (for the near future) is July 31, 2011. But as you can see in the press release, from the station, we've got lots of big opportunities in front of us, and things could not be any more exciting. You'll be able to hear all of our original programming at bsrlive.com, as well as features, reviews, news---with a few secret tricks up our sleeve for the near future.

Here are some other mentions of the news, which is starting to gain nationwide interest.

Also, they make it so easy to spread the word, might as well. Don't worry, you won't look like a spammer; on the contrary, you will look cool for liking such radio in the first place.

free103point9

free103point9 is a non-profit arts organization focused on establishing and cultivating the genre Transmission Arts. This genre encompasses a diversity of practices and media working with the idea of transmission or the physical properties of the electromagnetic spectrum. Transmission art is generally a participatory live-art or time-based art, and often manifests as radio art, video art, light sculpture, installation, and performance. free103point9 activities support and promote artists exploring transmission mediums for creative expression. free103point9's programs include public performances and exhibitions, an online radio station, the free103point9 Transmission Artists, an artist residency program, a distribution label, an education initiative, a sculpture garden, a study center, and an online archive.

Founded in 1997 as a microcasting artist collective in Brooklyn, NY, free103point9's mobile operations made airtime available to community voices, local bands, and most significantly to a group of under-served artists shaping conceptual works specifically for radio transmission. free103point9 established itself as a non-profit in 2002.
free103point9 Online Radio is available around the clock and features live weekly programs, special guest segments, selections from free103point9's archives, audio theater, and other forms of radio art. free103point9 Online Radio also features live on-location coverage of performances and events involving artists working in transmission arts. The curated pre-recorded content tracks movements in experimental sound art and fringe music genres such as noise, free jazz, and avant-folk. 7YMFJA66J58H
