CEO/Executive Director/Board Comments

Radio Free Nashville is not a 'typical' non-profit, and as such its board of directors does not act as boards of other non-profit organizations. RFN's function is to produce and air programming locally that increase one's awareness of and knowledge about critical issues and events and how our collective resources are allocated within the community. Our board is very small and is primarily responsible for assuring that RFN stays in legal compliance with the IRS, state government and the FCC. The RFN board oversees the general status of RFN, and assures that we are able to stay on the air continuously. It does not greatly influence the day-to-day workings of the actual radio station. Programmers have a great deal of autonomy, and create what they believe to be the most effective means of reaching their self-identified goals. As a community radio station, our doors are open to anyone who has been disenfranchised by the corporate-owned media: our constituency is the entire community. It is this community that drives what we do and how we do it. For example, almost 100% of RFN programming develops from the ground up: individual community members or groups propose programming to address specific issues, needs or musical tastes that are underrepresented in so-called mainstream media. After a brief review, to assure that we are not duplicating programming already found on RFN or widely available in the Nashville market, those community members are trained, put on the air, and given almost completely free rein to produce the kind of show they desire. (The limitations on programming are those dictated by the FCC to all broadcast outlets.) Fundraising is also primarily ground up, with programmers creating community events and benefits to help keep RFN operating. They also bring in their personal record collections to build up the communal music library, produce PSAs and promos, and provide media coverage on community services and events they deem of importance. RFN's equipment and resources are available for use as the programmer see fit.
