■about RADIO FRIENDS
Since the devastating earthquake and tsunami struck the north-eastern coast of Japan, community-based FM radio stations and temporary disaster broadcasting stations in affected areas have been of vital news source to the local community in providing up-to-date news.
However, these FM radio stations are increasingly facing difficulties as companies that used to financially support the stations have also became the victims of the disaster.
Radio Friends was initiated by radio presenters and staffs from metropolitan FM radio stations.
It is a voluntary initiative to enable community-based radio stations and temporary disaster broadcasting stations to continue their daily operation.
This initiative is supported by metropolitan FM radio stations and individuals who share our mission.
