Local radio alive and well
If you read Erie Media-Go-Round regularly, you know that many people aren't happy about the corporate takeover of local radio—fewer live DJs, tired playlists, and too many national talk shows.
The Erie Times-News reported a few days ago that Cambridge Springs community radio station WXCS—92.9 on your FM dial—is bucking that trend. The non-commericial station is run by volunteers and provides local artists with an outlet to share their music. Here's the most important paragraph in the article, if you ask me:
The station's concern for local radio access does not end with local musicians. WXCS is open to those in the community who would like to try their hand at the mic.
It would be cool to have a weekly hour-long local news/politics show, if one or two people were willing to invest the time in preparing for it (maybe going to school board/government meetings, talking with elected officials, etc.) I'm not sure if WXCS offers anything like that right now. It looks like the station's website is currently down, so I couldn't check the schedule.
By the way, WXCS officials, if you need a place to host your site, I've got plenty of space and bandwidth that's yours for the taking—just leave a comment or send an email.

Maybe this is your chance to move up in the media world. You can move up from this blog to talk radio and become the Barry Dane Steinhagen of Cambridge Springs.
