In November of 2012 we starteded Here and Again Inc. a non profit organization dedicated to:
Opening doors through education to new opportunities in radio, music, theatre production, theatre digital conversion, film, and the fine arts.
Assisting in the preservation of historic properties in downtown locations within the United States which have the potential to create an economic anchor for their communities.
Creating new economic, and employment opportunities through education.
In order to build a community radio station located in Ottawa, Illinois, we must raise the funds to build the station. Prometheus Organazation has provided us with an estimated budget of $51,732.54. This is their estimate of what we will need for the first year to run the Community Radio Station.
The community radio station is a means to give the public a voice, as a voice for community expression, a tool for social justice organizing, helping promote all things good in the community, and educating the public of community events and opportuinties.
We applied to the FCC for a low power radio license with the help of Prometheus Radio Organization. On Oct 14th our construction permit was approved.

Mission, Vision and Values
MISSION
The Prometheus Radio Project builds participatory radio as a tool for social justice organizing and a voice for community expression. To that end, we demystify media policy and technology, advocate for a more just media system, and help grassroots organizations build communications infrastructure to strengthen their communities and movements.
VISION
We envision a world in which the media is not a means to limit democratic participation, but a way for communities and movements to express themselves and struggle for justice. We imagine a nationwide community radio infrastructure made up of hundreds of independent, locally-orientated stations, part of a global movement to put media in the hands of the people.
VALUES
We value radio because it is easy to produce, free to consume, and accessible to more people across the world than any other mass media. Radio does not require expensive equipment, literacy, or a broadband connection. We believe in participatory radio because it is a proven tool for movement-building and cultural expression.
This is a list of equipment they say we need to get the radio station started. We are so excited!
