<nettime> Radio Patapoe urgently requests...... |
[ attached .jpg deleted @ nettime -- mod (tb) ] Hi, Most of you are probably aware of the current concerted attempts by local police, Agentschap Telecom's Etherflits division [responsible for "cleansing" the Dutch airwaves], and our local authority to force Free Radio Patapoe [97.2FM Amsterdam] off air, an action which if successful will mean that for the first time in about 25 years, there will be no free, independent voice transmitting to the people of Amsterdam. Full background and regular updates about the situation are posted at..... http://freeteam.nl/patapoe Radio Patapoe urgently requests all free radio makers, listeners and sympathisers to make a valuable contribution to our efforts to save our station and ensure the continuation of Free Radio in the city of Amsterdam by sending messages of support to patapoe@freeteam.nl All messages received by tomorrow morning will be printed and presented to the head of the local authority who has agreed to meet with us tomorrow to discuss the situation. The outcome of this meeting could well be crucial to the continuing existence of Radio Patapoe in its current location. If we are able to demonstrate MASSIVE local and international support, it may well tip the balance in our favour. The situation is CRITICAL and unless there are some developments in our favour by tomorrow evening [monday 16th feb], the vereniging which is responsible for the building which currently hosts the station, under pressure from police and local authorities, has requested Patapoe to cease FM transmissions and remove our antenne from the roof of the building. ACT AGAINST REPRESSIVE DUTCH MEDIA LAWS..... send your support mails to patapoe@freeteam.nl Transmissions continue on 97.2FM [Amsterdam area] and worldwide via our internet streams..... http://freeteam.nl/patapoe/listen.htm Thank you for listening.
