Dischord to release low-power-FM benefit compilation CD 4 September 2003 Begin Live Transmission, unlike a typical music compilation, plays like a radio show. It features a cross section of culturally-diverse musicians and bands from the neighborhoods served by Radio CPR, as well as broadcast excerpts, station IDs, and interviews representing the station’s radical mission to reclaim the airwaves against a tide of forces including an unlikely alliance between the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) and National Public Radio (NPR), both of which have worked over the past five or so years to kill low-power FM. NAB and NPR, in this regard, are playing directly into the hands of the monopolistic Clear Channel Communications and their allies, the US administration—at great peril to freedom of expression on the airwaves. Check our link to Salon.com for more on Clear Channel. Begin Live Transmission includes 22 musical tracks interspersed with radio excerpts. Dischord will release it next month. The tracks are 1. Mt.
