Common Frequency

Davis residents seek to unite community with independent radio

By Sukhjit Purewal | Dated October 20, 2007

FM Radio as it exists today sounds pretty much the same anywhere you travel in America. It's a collection of commercial stations, NPR, a Spanish station or two and Christian offerings. If you live within the reach of a college radio station, you're likely to hear a more raucous blend of listening choices.

And then there is radio as a small band of local visionaries who call themselves Common Frequency would like to see it. Common Frequency is a tiny nonprofit made up of UC Davis students and graduates who are all connected by way of the university's radio station, KDVS. They came together around the idea that using their radio expertise -- from engineering, content and underwriting -- they could help other nonprofit groups create their own radio stations. In doing so, they believe they can help recapture something that has been lost.

    I'm about a quarter mile from the guys covered in this piece, and didn't know anything about it. Prosper, based in midtown, dug up and brought me the info. I'm impressed. Will there be a follow up piece telling us which frequencies to dial up, post FCC selections? I'm ready to rock.
