Ocracoke Island, NC will finally get their own radio station

Ocracoke radio station leaps from Internet to airwaves

OCRACOKE, N.C. � A remote island on North Carolina's Outer Banks has found the money to finally put a local radio station on the air.

The Virginian-Pilot of Norfolk, Va., reported that the first licensed radio station on Ocracoke Island will be on the air as soon as this summer with local news, fishing reports, school events and local musicians.

The isolated barrier island is accessible mainly by ferry routes from the mainland and neighboring Hatteras Island.

Donors recently raised $22,000 needed to match a $67,000 federal grant, allowing organizers to order transmission equipment.

7. And me/my wife's favorite place on earth! In fact....we are heading there in two weeks -

Edited on Sat Sep-18-10 10:15 PM by NRaleighLiberal

FOR two weeks. We always stay at Cottage Station, across from the lighthouse...because it allows dogs, so Mocha and Buddy are looking forward to this as much as we are!

There is simply no place like it anywhere....offseason, anyway. Kayaking, fresh seafood every night, long walks.....

AND another fun fact - despite its location in a very red area of NC, Ocracoke is very blue - about 65%, according to the locals. Lots of sane, progressive people go there to escape the madness!
