2012 Grassroots Radio Conference

at the Urbana-Champaign Independent Media Center

July 26th-July 29th, 2012



Interested in using media to transform your community? The Grassroots Radio Conference (GRC) celebrates the vibrant and democratic medium of local community-driven radio. We bring together radio operators, media artists, community activists, engineers, and ordinary citizens from across the nation to learn, discuss, brainstorm, and build. Due to last year’s historic Local Community Radio Act, the government will be issuing brand new community radio station licenses all across the country to nonprofits and their partnering community groups, including for the first time in major cities! To that end, the GRC will feature an LP-FM Clinic to help in the process of starting your own LP-FM station and helping existing stations adapt to the digital age. This year’s GRC will celebrate RFU (Radio Free Urbana) raising its new radio tower and the UC-IMC becoming an anchor institution in Urbana-Champaign’s new public broadband system.  Stay tuned to grassrootsradioconference.org for more information as the conference approaches. To get involved, contact Austin at austinmccann@ucimc.org.
