- The information about Z-Radio is in the June '91 issue of Z magazine,
- page 3. Their address and phone are at bottom.

-
- To quote briefly from that issue:
-
- "The basic idea is this. Z Radio will be a small studio located here
- in Boston and a production company generating a regular flow of
- programs provided free to any station which wishes to receive the
- material. The shows will be uplinked to satellite, allowing stations
- to downlink them into their programming schedules [sounds like this
- should make is avail. in Europe as well, due to satellite --HB]..
- Tapes will be made available to stations that lack a downlink
- capability, and, for a charge, to individuals who would like the tapes
- for home listening at their leisure.
-
- [...]
-
- "Our goals are three-fold:
-
- (*) To help independent and alternative radio, which we consider a
- very powerful organizing and educating resource, by providing useful
- shows they can use as they like;
-
- (*) To help educate and organize the listening public, develop left
- culture, and foster unity among activists by the quality of material Z
- Radio provides;
-
- (*)To help spread awareness of Z itself, and of Speak Out, South End
- Press, the New Liberation News Service, and the whole spectrum of
- other left resources available in the U.S. today."
-
- [end of quote]

-
- You can already inquire with your local station(s) if you
- want to urge them to carry Z radio programming, which, again, would
- cost them nothing if they can "uplink"]

- NOTE: If you are interested in audio tapes from a progressive
- political and cultural perspective, David Barsamian has an excellent
- catalog of this, and we've scanned the whole catalog online; use the
- GET command with the file name CHOMSKY TAPES (originally someone only
- typed in that section of the catalog, and we haven't changed the
- name).
-
- You can use the GET command with SOUTH END for a listing of books from
- South End Press; with NLNS BROCHURE to find out all about the New
- Liberation News Service (cooperative for PSNs (progressive student
- (and other, I think) Newspapers)); with SPEAKOUT BROCHURE to find out
- about Speak Out! (progressive political speakers' bureau) and with
- SPEAKOUT BIOS for "bios" of the speakers available thru Speak Out!
-
- These are all projects of the nonprofit Institute For Social and
- Cultural Change. There are other video, group, book, etc resources
- listed in the file ACTIV-L ARCHIVE in the "general resources" section.
-

- [or: LISTSERV@UMCVMB.MISSOURI.EDU]
- ======================================
