NEW MEMBERS
ICRN proudly announce three new member stations (and counting), bringing diverse approaches and cultural contexts to the network. In our commitment to the Nordic region, we are joined by two partners from Norway and Finland.
Founded in 1982, radiOrakel join as the longest established radio and have retained a focus on the voices of womxn to this day, with an eclectic programme of radio plays, DJ sets, talk shows and a punk attitude. Beyond broadcasting, radiOrakel also focus on the professional development of their community; from courses in journalism and technical skills, they are committed to supporting womxn in radio bottom-up.
From old to new, we are also happy to onboard OOO (Out of Office) Radio (Helsinki), a mobile community radio physically available for loaning and remote broadcasting through battery power, and a with a focus on “experimental sound for curious ears”. With its roots in the arts, OOO are especially interested in the participatory quality of our medium.
Since the beginning, ICRN have wanted to develop a sense of cross-influencing between European regions (and beyond). This year we are proudly joined by Budapest-based Lahmacun Radio, who are a ‘music-and-beyond’ radio founded in 2018. Located inside the Kazán community and project hub, they prioritise the showcasing of the many subcultures of the capital and internationally online.
If you’re also a community radio (or a network) and would like to hear more, reach out to us on hello@icrn.live and we’ll make time to talk to you.
