Here is your chance: Help Launch Community Blues Radio in Clarksdale, Mississippi

Open Sky Radio Corp., a California-based 501c3 non-profit has built over a dozen non-commercial FM radio stations in rural west towns (CA, NV, OR), and eventually turned them over to local non-profits.

Their next venture is to build a town station for Clarksdale, Mississippi.

Are you passionate about the Blues? Do you believe in preserving and promoting American Musical History and Black Musical Art Forms? Are you a listener of community radio run by and for the people? Does free genre-less music programming add value and a sense of place to your life? Do you get tired of driving through America hearing corporate radio wash away the distinct regional sound of this country?

If you answered yes to any of the above, we invite you to join us in our mission to launch a non-commercial community radio station in Clarksdale, Mississippi – the birthplace of the Blues.

As is necessary, we have started a Go-Fund-Me campaign to help this town get a great blues-centric radio station of its own.

We have a hosted transmitter site for WAIT 88.1FM, a 300-watter that will cover all of Clarksdale and far into the surrounding big muddy bottomland, far beyond the crossroads.

Read all about it on the GoFundMe link.
