KRAW-LP Broadcast Radio versus Internet Radio

How is Our Station Uniquely Different?

All of our broadcast content is intended to be created by individuals from our community.
"Station initiated" activities are limited to mandatory FCC and EAS (Emergency Advisory System) content.

Our Hosts are not mouthpieces for the institutions embedded in Rawlins.

General understanding of "radio station" tends to presume that "station management" sets broadcast policy, content, funding and management.
Let's Talk Rawlins abandons that central management tradition.

Let's Talk Rawlins is intended to provide an independent radio station that is owned, managed, operated
and provided broadcasting content by the people of our Rawlins community.
Broadcast content is independently created by, compiled by and scheduled for broadcast by individual people from Rawlins.

For example:

	Programming is created by any human from the Rawlins community.
	Some Rawlins individual will coordinate and schedule the day and time that the program will be scheduled for broadcast.
	The technical processes of bringing our voices to the airwaves and Internet are the actions of Rawlins individuals participating in bringing our voices to reality.

This basic process applies to all broadcast content.

All conventional activities, such as "Sweepers", "Liners", "Voiceovers", "Intros", "Outros", "Jingles", "Bumpers",
"Transitions", Sonic-branding" and similar features may be generated or
otherwise provided and embedded or omitted only as desired and created by individual Hosts.

Most ordinary radio stations conform broadcast content to please their financial supporters. "The one who pays the piper calls the tunes".
KRAW-LP protects independent content by obtaining voluntary financial support exclusively from the members of our community.

Who are the "Rawlins Community"?
Who Are We, Really? (Click for more!)

Our Rawlins Community consists of individual people living, working and visiting in Rawlins.
Institutions such as governments, charities, businesses, clubs and others do influence the community; they are in our community, but they are not our real community.
Only flesh and blood humans are true members of our Rawlins community.

The difference that separates institutions from our human community is simple. Institutions are artificial and exist only by the rules, policies and goals of their creation. The people who speak and act for them serve the primary purposes, rules and policies of their organizations. Their views and opinions are inherently those of their employer or sponsor and cannot have the same unlimited privilege that can be freely exercised by individual humans of our community.
