Where did you come from 1610AM?

The supporters of this station consist of a small group of like-minded citizens who became aware that we must get together and participate in the political elections of 2008. After the election, we got together to try to figure out how to continue to share concepts in innovative ways with interested members of our community in a fun and non-obtrusive way.

This meant throwing out ideas like flyers, bumper stickers, signage, community meetings, telephone banks, etc. you get the idea. The radio station idea stuck. Through this medium, we believe fresh perspective can be shared on an ongoing, daily updated basis for as long as each listener would like. At the same time nothing is wasted in terms of paper, plastic, cardboard and the money and time it takes to deliver such items in the hopes someone will pay attention. Radio is 'green'. Since we transmit 0.1 watts the power consumed is virtually nothing.

All though you may hear some a few shows each week emphasizing faith, gardening, or nutritional awareness, the main content we share is political news and its associated commentary. Whether you consider yourself 'Left', 'Right' or 'none of the above', our main goal is to share with Corvallis a fresh perspective that is, as a whole, not heard in "old" media, (AM/FM/TV/newspaper) but instead mainly on the Internet. So, we are bringing the power of the Internet to good old AM radio. Why? Well everyone has an AM radio and we believe strongly that everyone who wants to should be able to consider a perspective other than what is pre-approved by the usual big this and that.

Most shows during the weekdays are carried 'LIVE'. So, yes, you can call in! This is real radio, just not radio we have heard around here before. This is independent talk radio. This means that there is plenty of criticism to go around against both the "red team" and the "blue team". I don't know where or when this idea of labeling states red and blue based on the R and D winners n losers started but I sure did not see it prior to a couple elections ago. To me it sounds just like a cheesy roller derby sports event. So, I view red and blue labeling and most other labeling as an attempt to divide the American people along any and all lines possible.

I used to think, this national party (and their issues) 'mostly good' and that other party over there, "ALL bad(for sure, no doubt)". Guess how I view things now after carefully considering many issues without a knee-jerk kicking off my neurons... now I say. Does this idea/concept/person etc. favor the cause of liberty or tyranny? Double check the textbook meaning of liberty and tyranny then try it a few times on your favorite(or least favorite) issues, I think you will be surprised.

In closing, LETS BE CLEAR...

We don't agree with every viewpoint expressed on each show aired.

We don't agree with the fitness of every product advertised. Let's face it there are several whacky products being advertised on some of the shows. We just chuckle, shake our heads and move on.
