Corvallis joins JiveRadio orbit!
KORC-LP 96.5FM Corvallis, Oregon
On Jan. 31, the FCC granted Corvallis, Oregon-based Veterans For Peace a “Low Power FM” broadcast license. OpenSkyRadio funded & built the “facility” and is providing custom, locally-generated JiveRadio content while local outreach and organization is undertaken.
Broadcasting from our friend George’s yard shed, the antenna is surrounded by trees taller than it is, which is bad for radio waves. While we solidly cover the parking lot at Papa’s Pizza (99W), and leak into south Corvallis, we need a better site for an antenna.
Anybody out there have a site that looks over Corvallis?

Carson City’s KNVC takes solo flight.
JiveRadio’s content has been acting as a place marker on Carson City’s KNVC-LP 95.1FM since our parent non-profit, OpenSkyRadio, had something to do with the licensee obtaining the FCC license last February. 
I thought we would have some notice and time to alert our Carson listeners before The Jive would be cut, but that was not to be. I sincerely apologize to all of the 95.1 Jive listeners out there who had no idea this was coming to such an abrupt end. Our stream at JiveRadio.org is going strong and we care about you.

So, Nevada’s capitol city has a new “community based” radio station. We at OSR hope that the citizenry will embrace and build on this important socio-cultural resource potential.
Cheers & stay tuned (up)! – Jeff ‘A Radio Guy’ Cotton
