Radio Frequency 88.1FM needs your help

admin — Thu, 04 Oct 2007 09:03:40 +0000

Radio Frequency, the Yorkshire based specialist Drum & Bass radio station currently has a court case pending.

In the eyes of Ofcom, the courts and the media, unlicensed radio stations sometimes get a bad reputation and are often linked to drugs and violence. We’re trying to raise awareness of the good things that the station has done, and show that it was a professionally run station that was an asset to the community.

We’ve setup a petition to collect names, so if you could take two seconds to sign it this could really help our cause.

Click here to sign

Please pass on this link and tell your friends to tell their friends.

If you’re up for collecting signatures (the signatures on paper mean more than the online petition) and you need a paper copy of the petition, just head over to the Leeds Drum & Bass forums for more info on doing that or to just show your support.

Krek and Mers

admin — Mon, 24 Sep 2007 20:09:38 +0000

It’s very simple really. Two young lads, days before one of them is due to go to University and they are each sentanced to over a year in prison, whilst at the same time people are walking free for other crimes deemed to be less serious by the authorities such as violent crime.

Some “artists” seem to be able to get away with damaging cities, and even make money from it, whilst others are sent down for a crime that when you boil it down to the basics is just the same.

To show your support, join up to the Facebook and the MySpace.

There is also a sketch battle on our forums for the two at the moment.

If you would like us to cover any other articles or highlight any other injustices then please get in touch.
