We can thank Congressmen Dave Loebsack (D-2nd District) and former congressman Tom Latham (R-4th District) who co-sponsored H.R. 1147, the bill that allowed the FCC to license thousands of Low Power FM community radio stations across the country. 

Iowa City will benefit by getting its very own LPFM station. The station will provide truly local radio programming.  Read these articles in the Gazette  and Little Village to find out more. 

Right now the station’s start-up group needs money to get on the air by this fall.  Click on the link if you would like to donate.  For more information, contact Holly Hart.

“You’re listening to Uptown Bill’s Radio live from Iowa City, Iowa.”  Doesn’t that sound great! You can help make it happen.

Uptown Bill’s/Extend the Dream has received a license from the FCC to operate a radio station in Iowa City. In keeping with our mission, this is to be community radio for everyone — for people of all abilities.

Right now, we need to raise $15,000. That will pay for the costs of engineering and equipment to get us on the air.

Our goal is to be broadcasting by the end of the summer. Help us get on the air with a tax-deductible contribution.
