Broadcasting professionals, listeners, recording artists, media democracy activists and public officials will come together to advance the debate around radio ownership. Through two informal panels, we will move beyond critique to a forward-looking discussion of how radio can more effectively serve artists, fans, local music communities and citizens.

As the FCC's task force on localism holds hearings around the country, we too will consider the Commission's traditional regulatory priorities of "localism, competition and diversity. On the morning after our forum, key participants will reconvene to distill the weekend's insights into a set of concrete policy recommendations — providing some instructions on how our government, media owners and local communities can work to fix radio.

Please see website for featured participants. Tickets are free — call for more info.
