PGHIMC - Pittsburgh Independent Media Center

The Pittsburgh IMC is preparing to host a radio show on WRCT Pittsburgh, FM 88.3 MHz. Over the summer, while WRCT was on its "random schedule," members of the IMC Radio Collective aired several shows on WRCT as an audition. They now have a trained producer and one host for the show but welcome ideas for content and more volunteers to arrange for interviews, gather content for rebroadcast, or help run the show. Contact the Pittsburgh IMC Radio Working Group with your ideas, your own original audio content that you think matches the goals of the show, or to get involved as a host or producer.
