[edit] History
Syracuse Community Radio was officially founded in 1994 to apply for a license to bring community radio to Syracuse's FM dial. The project grew out of organizing by the Westcott Nation Music Association that included micro-radio in the Westcott neighborhood (1990-91) and a community television program on Time Warner Cable. The organization was active for two years before incorporating in 1994. Syracuse Community Radio currently operates a small FM broadcast in the nearby town of Fenner, and is currently awaiting translaters to be granted by the FCC which would rebroadcast the Fenner signal over the city of Syracuse. Syracuse Community Radio operated a webcast from their website between 2001 and 2006. Syracuse Community Radio programs have included music, talk and syndicated programs such as Democracy Now!.
