“When union-run KPCN-FM hits the air in November it won’t reach far. But it will hit thousands of Mexican farm workers who speak various languages, worry about labor and immigration issues, and seek information hard to get elsewhere.

The 100-watt station, being built in a hurry from scratch, largely with volunteer labor and advice, is guided by the Philadelphia-based Prometheus Radio Project, which has helped build low-power stations in rural areas and small towns since Congress in 2000 made it easier to set up the stations.”
