Profile

Radio free alabama is 501(c)3 consortium of producers, musicians, dramatists, and artists. Together we have created a new radio station in the birmingham area that services the greater alabama and southeast area. Radio free alabama aims to provide an accessible, sustainable and accountable community radio service for central and west alabama focusing on the needs of diverse groups and individuals. Marginalized and unrepresented by local radio, we will build a platform for discussion and empowerment through a diverse mix of locally relevant speech and music programs. While most internet radio stations focus on music we will mainly be focusing on cultural programming addressing the needs and concerns of under-served communities. We will be heavily focused on providing alternative programming such as panel discussions, talk shows, comedy, audio drama, documentaries , as well as programming centered around arts and literature from poetry and fiction to the plastic arts and dance.of course
