On November 20th 1999, after the move to Nueva Granada, the station started operating in a new building, with a higher antenna, a bigger transmitter, a 24-track mixer, digital audio equipment and most interesting of all, computers that can handle most of the programming and recording. Funding of Radio Izcanal has gone through a number of attempts. It started with very little means except for the direct support of the community, but as it expanded its influence, the needs of the station grew as well. Now, the station has various sources of funding and one of them is advertising. Being the only station located in that part of the country, Radio Izcanal is sought by small shops to air ads aimed at the local population.
Educational messages are also important.
The external support for Radio Izcanal has come from The Netherlands, Canada and Norway. Ten new stations are soon to be added to the network, either under the 92.1 FM or 90.5 FM frequencies. The objective is to have a presence all over the national territory with stations and participatory programmes of quality, which support the active participation in the development of the communities and the nation . The military in power violated human rights in their attempt to annihilate the popular guerrilla movement. The community radio initiatives started during the war.
