Non-Satellite programs available to non-commercial radio stations
Last Updated on February 3, 2011 by askcbiorg
Here’s the latest copy of the list of programs available to non-commercial stations by means other than satellite as compiled by Randall Davidson. Since there was no comprehensive list of such programs, he began collecting this information as a way to assist community and college broadcasters and to help program producers get the word out about programs they are producing. Randal makes no claim as to the quality or content of the programs on the list.
Please let him know if you are carrying or producing a program he could add, or if you spot any errors on the lists at davidsor@uwosh.edu. The requirements are that program be on-going (i.e., not a limited-run series or single program offering), be legal for non-commercial broadcast in the U.S. (i.e, they cannot contain commercials and underwriting must conform to FCC standards), and be available somehow to stations that do not have satellite equipment.
