This will be a time when radio stations can play anything they like and say whatever they like. These stations won't care about ratings, demographics, marketing, or focus groups. They won't be owned in groups of 100 by huge corporations. This era has just begun. Anarchists and many others feel that governments DON'T have the right to regulate the airwaves.
Governments argue that regulation is necessary to prevent chaos on the airwaves.
We don't want chaos on the airwaves, but we feel that ordinary people, through global cooperation, are the best people to decide things about the airwaves. This has to stop and it will. April 13, 2000. In response to the National Association of Broadcasters open declaration of war on the micropower broadcasting movement, community radio, and Free Speech, a national gathering of micropower broadcasters, media activists, and supporters will convene in Berkeley, California on Saturday, May 27. Our goal is to plan and create a national campaign for the liberation of the broadcast airwaves from the corporate media stranglehold on the free flow of news, information, artistic expression, and cultural diversity.
