The Peace and Justice Network of San Joaquin County (PJN) is proud to announce that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has recently granted the organization a permit to construct a non-commercial educational radio station. The permit is the result of over a three-year endeavor to pursue an alternative, educational source of programming for the Stockton area.
PJN is consulting with Common Frequency and the UC Davis radio station on proper developmental strategies for station construction and organization. The FM frequency currently licensed is much lower in wattage than other stations in the area and most likely will best be received on car radios. The intended programming will be a mix of eclectic independent music not heard on other stations, and a focus on community affairs programming and non-commercial news.
PJN will begin developing the programming aspects in about a year, after funding issues are finalized. The community affairs programming will from individuals and groups that support the PJN mission statement: “the Peace and Justice Network is a nonprofit educational organization committed to the vision of a world in which the equality of all persons is achieved, basic needs are met, conflict is resolved nonviolently, and the earth’s resources are shared responsibly for the well-being of all her inhabitants and all future generations.”
The Peace and Justice Network Board would like to thank you all for your wonderful support, the ideas, the expertise and words of encouragement that meant so much to all of us. Throughout the whole ordeal of planning for a community radio station, many organizations and individuals stepped up in ways we are thankful.
Well, we are here and our next meeting is scheduled for July 17 9:00 a.m. at the Center. Please join us as we plot a course to deliver quality community radio programming for San Joaquin County!
