Progressive Radio in Seattle Update


WAseattleferriesdowntownbackground

Our team is working with Seattle City Councilmember Nick Licata to arrange a meeting with Al Gore . We want to talk with him about the future of progressive radio in Seattle and other cities in the country.  We have also arranged a meeting with an “insider” at the former KTPK 1090AM.

We apologize if we have not gotten back to you if you have offered to help. We have been collecting contact information and want to be sure we use our volunteers wisely and effectively.

We now have a website under construction thanks to a qualified volunteer who came forward.

We have a public folder on the Cloud. Posted on the site is a Progressive Radio Users Guide.pdf– to find your progressive talkers on-line, or via a variety of devices. The direct link is: http://sdrv.ms/10jpp9R?utm_source=supporter_message&utm_medium=email

We have also created an email address that is available for your use to reach us: ProgressiveRadioSeattle@gmail.com

The petition that you signed at SignOn.org had 9,115 signatures at last count.  If you know someone who supports progressive radio in Seattle who has not signed yet, please send them the link: http://www.signon.org/dashboard.html?l=al-543905-20121206-co5kuz

We are plotting the most effective places to send these signatures.  If you have a idea, please let us know.

We are confident that we’re either going to see an existing radio station pick up progressive radio in Seattle or possibly create a listener-owned station. There is a model of a successful community-owned commercial progressive radio station in Minneapolis that we are following up on.

We want to assure you that we are working to bring progressive radio back to Seattle. We’ll be in touch with next steps – as well as other opportunities to put this community into action for our progressive priorities.
