Like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiosurvivor.com\/2021\/02\/listen-to-this-bbc-documentary-about-5-community-stations-around-the-world\/\">last year<\/a>, the BBC tapped radio journalist David Goren to produce a documentary highlighting community radio around the globe. <strong>&#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/programmes\/w3ct3gkr\">World Wide Waves &#8217;22<\/a>&#8221; profiles four stations:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/kooriradio.com\/\">Koori Radio<\/a> is the only First Nations&nbsp;radio station broadcasting Sydney, Australia <\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.artaorg.net\/\">Arta FM<\/a> is an independent, multilingual community radio station broadcasting in the Jazeera region in North-East Syria<\/li><li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.radiovictoriaes.org\/\">Radio Victoria<\/a> is a social justice station dedicating to fighting poverty in El Salvador<\/li><li>Machnoor, India&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/digitalknowledgecentre.in\/listings\/sangham-radio\/\">Sangham Radio <\/a>is owned, managed and operated by women from the margins of the society, who have been mostly excluded in public forums<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Boston public radio station <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wbur.org\/news\/2022\/02\/11\/indigenous-broadcasters-guatemala-human-rights-court-ruling\">WBUR reports<\/a>, <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8220;A group of lawyers and activists from Massachusetts are celebrating a ruling by an international human rights court in favor of indigenous broadcasters in Guatemala.<\/p><p>Nicole Friederichs, who runs Suffolk Law School&#8217;s Human Rights and Indigenous Peoples Clinic in Boston, said <strong>it&#8217;s the first time an international court has upheld native people&#8217;s right to operate media outlets<\/strong>.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The unlicensed station was operating without a license when it was shut down by the government. The station appealed to the country&#8217;s Supreme Court, arguing that licensure was prohibitively expensive, but was ruled against. But the station prevailed in front of the Inter-American Court in December, finding the Guatemalan government had violated the broadcasters&#8217; rights to freedom of expression. The ruling has implications for dozens of similar stations across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Mazda owners in Seattle who listen to public radio KUOW are finding their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.seattletimes.com\/seattle-news\/thanks-to-a-glitch-some-seattle-mazda-drivers-cant-tune-their-radios-away-from-kuow\/\">car stereos taken over by the station<\/a>, and that they can&#8217;t switch away.<\/strong> In fact, other features, like Bluetooth, won&#8217;t work either. No one, including Mazda, is quite certain what has caused the problem, though there are suspicions that it has something to do with KUOW&#8217;s HD Radio signal. The only fix, right now, appears to be replacing the entire in-car entertainment system.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This past Sunday, February 13, was World Radio Day.
