KFAR is a pirate radio station supported by a community of artists, activists, DJs, and musicians. The format is open and depends on the DJ that is on at the time. Personally, I play industrial, retro, darkwave, jazz, and trip-hop. Pan 131 has been know to play similar things as well.

Well ...

It looks like KFAR has survived this round of the FCC, cos I was able to tune it in today.

So does this mean you guys are out of the woods, or will there still potentially be probs with the FCC?

There will always be problems, since we're not licensed by the FCC and therefore, not legal. The licensing process is insanely restrictive and has effectively pushed anything but corporate radio off the dial and into oblivion - except for a few schmoes like myself and Arkady and a bunch of other intrepid airwave pirates that refuse to lay down and say die. We just won't let the corporations have it all. So, we're not out of the woods - and won't be until the laws are changed, which isn't going to happen anytime soon. I think what Arkady is doing is a definate step in the right direction. Keep up the fantastic work, amigo - and if I don't see you before Sanctus, I'll definately see you there.

Thanks bro. BTW, does anyone have any idea who our congressional rep is? We need to be contacting them about getting that stupid third channel complacency law changed.

So, all of Knoxville is in the second district?

Sir Diddimus · Post by **Sir Diddimus** » Wed Apr 07, 2004 3:19 pm

Yup.....

Quoted from Duncan's Congressional Web-site:

The Second Congressional District is situated in lower East Tennessee and consists of the following six counties: Knox, Blount, Loudon, Monroe, McMinn and a portion of Sevier. The District has an approximate population of 625,000, with most of the area’s residents consolidated around the City of Knoxville. Other cities in the District include Maryville, home of United States Senator Lamar Alexander (R-TN), Athens, Lenoir City, Sweetwater, Seymour, Madisonville, and a number of smaller towns and communities.

Geography

The District follows the north-south axis of the Appalachian Mountains, with a majority of the land falling in its foothills. Additionally, a number of man-made lakes created and operated by the Tennessee Valley Authority including Fort Loudon, Tellico, Cherokee, Norris and Watts Bar can be found in the District. The Holston and French Broad Rivers join in the upper portion of the District to form the Tennessee River, providing water transportation for a large portion of the region.
