Summary

Happy World Radio Day! World Radio Day was celebrated around the world last week in acknowledgment of the impact and importance of radio, with a unique visualization of Low Power FM radio stations going on the air from 2000 to March 2011. Low Power FM radio is important for providing centralized places to broadcast local ideas, music, and news, filling a void in building community and sharing local news, especially for young people who can learn about new things by hanging out at the radio station.
