Independent Media for Arizona
Arizona Community Media Foundation (AzCMF) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization formed by concerned citizens who desire to have access to independent, educational, community-focused broadcast media outlets serving Arizona. We exist to provide a voice for traditionally underrepresented groups and perspectives unavailable within mainstream media.

Radio Phoenix Adds
More Diverse Programming
Now twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, you can hear more news, views, and music you have never heard in Phoenix before.
Radio Phoenix, the internet broadcast service of the Arizona Community Media Foundation is now "on the air" with local bands, world music, public affairs that you won't hear on other stations, "Democracy Now!," Native American programming, and health and science news.
New programs include The Bungalow Show, an original production of Radio Phoenix, heard on Tuesdays from 6 to 7 PM. The Bungalow Show showcases the Valley's emerging art, culture, and music scenes that are usually overlooked by traditonal media. The series features live music, interviews, word artists, story tellers, and more.
Special programming on Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday in May will include "Globalquerque," New Mexico's annual worlds music festival; "Homeless in Los Angeles," a radio documentary on the plight of homeless veterans; retrospectives on Nina Simone and Carlos Santana; and Native Radio Theater, radio theater produced by Native Voice 1.

FCC Acting Chair Copps Hits Hard in Support of Community Radio
In an speech before the Free Speech Summit in Washington on May 14, Acting FCC Chair Micheal Copps struck hard at the previous 8 years of "shallows and misery," calling for "waves of reform," to restore core values of localism, diversity, and competition in the media. "Two decades of mindless deregulation -- only briefly interrupted -- topped off by a veritable tsunami of consolidation across not just communications, but most business sectors, have succeeded in bringing our economy low and endangering the essential civic dialogue on which democracy depends." The chairman called upon the public to reinvigorate and support local media to allow it to go about the people's business of promoting democracy.
