"Native Talk Arizona" Changes Live Broadcast Time
Lines up Great Guests and Lively Broadcasts for Next Month
"Native Talk Arizona," sponsored by the Native American Health Center in Phoenix with host Roy Johnston, can now be heard on Thursdays at 11:00 AM with a re-broadcast of the previous week's program at 11:30 AM. Recent guests have included Deena Smith on roller derbies, Erinn Leon on ADHD children and adults, and Anh T. Becker, D.D.S., on dental health. Previous programs can be heard as podcasts at Radio Phoenix. The show features a community calender read by a local high school student. Although the program is aimed primarily at a Native American audience, the topics covered will be of interest to everyone in the community. Roy can be contacted at rjohnston@nachi.com or by calling 602-279-5262. Here is the full schedule for May.

Religious Broadcaster Opposed to AzCMF License Appeals to FCC, More Delay in Construction Permit.
American Educational Broadcasting (AEB) has filed an appeal of the decision of the Media Bureau of the FCC rejecting AEB's opposition to the license application of AzCMF. After more than 1,200 days of litigation and waiting for FCC action, on October 18, 2011, the Media Bureau informed AzCMF, sponsor of Radio Phoenix, that it was rejecting and denying all the objections and oppositions filed against the AzCMF license application. AEB has filed for a reconsideration by the Media Bureau which will further delay final processing of the AzCMF application. More

After being without a studio for almost eight months, Radio Phoenix has found a new home at the Phoenix Center for the Arts.

Here is what we need to upgrade our broadcasting and services and to expand our ability to meet the needs of the communities we serve.
