[grc] Program Intern at LPFM

[Tracy Rosenberg]

*Request for Proposals: Volunteer Opportunity*

*Alameda Community Radio (KACR) – Program Direction Intern*

Alameda Community Radio (ACR) was granted a construction permit by the FCC
to build a Low-Power FM radio station in Alameda, California. Soon, Alameda
Community Radio will be broadcasting as KACR at 96.1 FM.

Alameda Community Radio is has been streaming a sample mix of our shows on
UStream.tv 7 days a week. Our rotation of shows was a variety of programs
including music, conversation, poetry and specialty shows.

We are looking for a savvy intern (unfortunately unpaid) to curate and
improve our Internet stream for this transitional period. Specifically, we
want someone to explore syndicated audio programming with an emphasis on
compelling public affairs and arts and cultural programming to identify
content that will engage our Alameda audience, isn't repetitively offered
on other accessible outlets, and can help to brand our specific identity
and value to Alamedans as we move toward terrestrial broadcast and the
generation of truly local programming.

*Qualifications: *You should have some hands-on experience with community
radio, a familiarity or willingness to research both Bay Area tastes and
the specific nature of Alameda as a distinct community in the region, some
awareness of the other radio offerings in the area, and some knowledge of
podcasts and other available content options.

You will work under the supervision of a seven-member board of directors
that meets in the evening and may have to attend a board meeting
occasionally. Otherwise the work schedule is flexible, although we are
looking to upgrade our Internet stream quickly.

*What You Get Out Of It:* Curating and creating a neighborhood-specific
audio stream is valuable experience and if the project is successful and
creates a noticeable uptick in listeners, should provide valuable resume
experience for Internet communications positions. Plus you get to be a big
part of building a new local radio station!

*How To Apply:* Please send a letter with a little bit about you, why you
think you might want to take this on, what previous experience you bring to
the table, and what you think makes an Internet audio stream compelling and
listenable. Send letter to *i <xx at xx.org>nfo at alamedacommunityradio.org
<nfo at alamedacommunityradio.org>*
