The information about Z-Radio is in the June '91 issue of Z magazine,
page 3. Their address and phone are at bottom.

To quote briefly from that issue:

"The basic idea is this. Z Radio will be a small studio located here
in Boston and a production company generating a regular flow of
programs provided free to any station which wishes to receive the
material. The shows will be uplinked to satellite, allowing stations
to downlink them into their programming schedules [sounds like this
should make is avail. in Europe as well, due to satellite --HB]..
Tapes will be made available to stations that lack a downlink
capability, and, for a charge, to individuals who would like the tapes
for home listening at their leisure.

[...]

"Our goals are three-fold:

(*) To help independent and alternative radio, which we consider a
very powerful organizing and educating resource, by providing useful
shows they can use as they like;

(*) To help educate and organize the listening public, develop left
culture, and foster unity among activists by the quality of material Z
Radio provides;

(*)To help spread awareness of Z itself, and of Speak Out, South End
Press, the New Liberation News Service, and the whole spectrum of
other left resources available in the U.S. today."

[end of quote]

You can already inquire with your local station(s) if you
want to urge them to carry Z radio programming, which, again, would
cost them nothing if they can "uplink"]

NOTE: If you are interested in audio tapes from a progressive
political and cultural perspective, David Barsamian has an excellent
catalog of this, and we've scanned the whole catalog online; use the
GET command with the file name CHOMSKY TAPES (originally someone only
typed in that section of the catalog, and we haven't changed the
name).

You can use the GET command with SOUTH END for a listing of books from
South End Press; with NLNS BROCHURE to find out all about the New
Liberation News Service (cooperative for PSNs (progressive student
(and other, I think) Newspapers)); with SPEAKOUT BROCHURE to find out
about Speak Out! (progressive political speakers' bureau) and with
SPEAKOUT BIOS for "bios" of the speakers available thru Speak Out!

These are all projects of the nonprofit Institute For Social and
Cultural Change. There are other video, group, book, etc resources
listed in the file ACTIV-L ARCHIVE in the "general resources" section.

    ======================================
    To get a file named FILE NAME from the
    archiver (files are two words  separa-
    ted by a space), send the 1-line message

    GET FILE NAME ACTIV-L

    to: LISTSERV@UMCVMB.BITNET
    [or: LISTSERV@UMCVMB.MISSOURI.EDU]
    ======================================

    Use GET with the file ACTIV-L ARCHIVE for a listing of
    files available with the GET command.
