"Every Wednesday night at The Vintage Theater in downtown Scranton, a sizeable group of likeminded volunteers gather around a small table to discuss their future plans for Northeastern Pennsylvania. Some would call them “rebels.” Others would label them “communists.” By Jan. 1, they hope to call themselves WFTE-FM.

In 2008, the Federal Communications Commission opened a window for non-commercial/educational radio licenses to eligible non-profits, which hadn’t been done in at least nine years. Jake Rosen, along with other local progressives, formed a non-profit organization called Community Radio Collective. to obtain a license, which they ultimately secured.
