Future of Music is PubRadio

For Public Radio Month, the Future of Music Coalition, a group of wonderful folks who are always thinking of the big picture wrote a brief blog post that says more in its simplicity than most of the other blather out there.

There’s no way to not know that FMC are HUGE supporters of public and noncommercial radio. From our fight to expand Low Power FM service to our working with tons of amazing musicians to make the case for the continued funding of public broadcasting, we’re always ready to go to bat for the noncommercial side of the dial.

And we’re not alone. Currently, musicians and music fans of all stripes are showing their support for Public Radio Music Month…

The love runs deep in the music community. Earlier this month, 98 artists — including the Black Keys, Andrew Bird, Dave Matthews and more — sent a letter thanking public radio “for taking chances” on new music and new sounds.

The Public Radio Month Tumblr page has the letter and a bunch of other posts up.  It’s really starting to fill out with some great stuff.

Thanks to all of these enthusiasts who remind us the value of what we are doing and of what people love about public radio.
