[Imc-radio] Re: [Imc] Radio News needs your help

This is a good time to point out that, in the next year, we hope to have 
a Low Power FM station on the air, direct from the IMC. So there'll be 
LOTS of space for news, along with mucho else.

I want to take this opportunity to thank Clint for his excellent service 
as news coordinator. He has built a soild foundation for the IMC news 
team to grow from.
