couple of independent-member driven radio stations. I was just wondering if the Bay Area had any independent / member stations out there [....]
Uh, this is where it all began back in 1949 with KPFA, the nation's first member-supported community radio station. Most of the stations except college and high-school owned stations, have paid board ops and announcers these days. But there are oh so many stations that are community-oriented and rely on volunteer program producers.
For starters: KPOO, KPFA, KALW, KUSF, KFJC, KALX, KCEA, KVHS, and KZSU. Just put an .org after the callsigns and you can find their web pages. KPOO is a .com though.
