Md. LPFM Set For February Launch

WRYR(LP) on 97.5 MHz, plans to go on air in Maryland mid-February. The debut of the station will take place during a conference of low-power radio supporters, licensees and station applicants. Sponsored locally by the South Arundel Citizens for Responsible Development and nationally by the community radio advocacy group Prometheus Radio Project, the Low Power Radio Barn Raising will be held Feb. 15-18 at the West River United Methodist Camp in West River, Md.
“We’ve worked long and hard for this moment,” says project director Mike Shay of SACReD. “The ‘Barn Raising’ will be the beginning of the era of community radio for the Mid-Chesapeake Bay region.”
