In Search of Sister Stations
(The special edition of this tape comes with the talk by Peter Dale Scott on Side B)
At a radio conference in Madison, Wisconsin, a shy, young woman from Colombia arrived with a video recorded along the Magdalena River. It showed three of the 15 radio stations that are currently on the air in that region.
Ranging from a tiny shed where an elder woman shoos away the chickens every morning to turn on the transmitter to a full-fledged studio with staff meetings, these signals stand for the huge diversity of stations that are only a few dozen miles apart. What unites all of them is the fear of Plan Colombia. Financial support to the army has always led to stepped up military actions, followed by increased militia and guerrilla activity during all of which the civilian population suffers. (2001)
