[CIMC-work] redline radio

[Emily Lonigro]

from my friend at redline radio. his email address is me@thedylan.net:

Redline is having a meeting on wednesday around 8pm at an undisclosed location on the northeast side of the city.  If
you or someone else from indymedia is interested in coming
we can discuss items pertaining to you first so you don't
have to experience the disorganization that is redline,
except as it relates to indymedia.  I was told to inform you
that we are very informal and any mention of Robert's Rules
of Order will result in the summary execution of the
offending party/parties.  Enough of that, just if you are or
know anyone who is interested.  I'll send more info as we
figure it out.

possible projects:

-Some sort of show/benefit that highlights the media monopoly.  Possibly including a media monopoly tournament or something like that.  Scott made a monopoly board game where the different colors are different markets of radio and instead of streets there are the top stations in that market, the railroads are newspapers, etc.  I thought it was funny,
don't know how we're gonna use it.  Maybe just sell sets.  I thought it's be good to send them anonymously to the fcc commissioners or radio stations around the city.  last year we did this weird church carnival type fundraiser in the gym above the unity [I think] church in rogers park.  Insight arts hooked us up with the space.  It was a big success in the money department though I'm not sure many of the local people that came really sat down and talked with us or the groups we brought in.  I think the idea is something like that.  An attempt to not just preach to the converted by bringing people in with free food and games for their kids.  Can anyone say cake walk?

-I will be broadcasting on may 1st [5pm-10pm] and need to get my number to people who will be performing actions that day.  I don't know if there is a rally planned or what is actually going on that day but would like calls so we can put people on the air if there is something happening.

-I know you have "from the trenches" but thought perhaps someone would be interested in doing a show.  Our equipment is not professional and we're not professionals but perhaps someone there would be interested in
a show despite our diy nature.  We need more news/commentary programmming.  Spanish language programming in particular would be nice.

The main thing about all of this is just opening up the dialogue between independent/leftist media outlets in the city.  I was also planning an informal dj "get to know you" bbq for redline and would be glad to have people from other groups come by, though I'd have to discuss that with
my compatriots.  More on that when I have a better idea of when/if that's actually happening.
