Radio Free (insert whatever here)

S

soundsandsports

We all know how iconic the "Radio Free" moniker is after Radio Free Europe signed on 60 years ago. Nowadays, there's a lot of domestic broadcasters (a few over-the-air, but mostly podcasters) using the moniker. My main query is exactly how many "Radio Free" outlets are there?

By the way, my podcast service is called Radio Free Cedar City. I gave it the ident because of the iconic moniker and the fact my hometown is nicknamed the "Cedar City", because of the many "Lebanon Cedar" trees that grow inside and on the outskirts of the city limits.

You can listen to Radio Free Cedar City at http://radiofreecedarcity.podomatic.com where I currently upload two podcasts per week. One is an all-sports podcast and the other is mostly non-sports. Whenever I have enough of a music library, I'll convert my sports show into the music/sports hybrid show I did in college.

There were (and are still) quite a few.

KRFE (now KRKO) 1380 AM in Everett, WA used the moniker "Radio Free Everett" in the mid '80s.

KRFP-LP 92.5 in Moscow ID, I.D.s as "Radio Free Moscow"

WHJX 105.7 FM Jacksonville, FL is "Radio Free Jacksonville" http://radiofreejax.com/

I found this: http://www.radiofreeamerica.com/

Yours isn't the only podcast using "Radio Free (SOMEPLACE)" http://radiofreebakersfield.com/

Here's a pirate using Radio Free Canton http://radiofreecanton.net/ However, some pirates use "Free Radio Santa Cruz" http://www.freakradio.org/ or "Free Radio Berkeley" http://www.freeradio.org/ or "Free Radio (SOMEPLACE)" instead of "Radio Free (SOMEPLACE)"

It would be pretty hard to list them all.......

That's all I can pull up. Anyone else?
 
its long shut down but i loved to listen to the pirate station "radio free naptown" in the early 70`s.
