Word just crossed the email that Berkeley Liberation Radio was raided by Federal Marshals and the FCC this morning. Apparently almost everything connected to the station was taken, save for microphones and headphones. The FCC isn’t commenting….Cap’n Fred, are you out there?
BLR is the outgrowth of the old Free Radio Berkeley, founded by Stephen Dunifer. While Dunifer was enjoined from broadcasting ever again after losing a long battle in court with the feds, the rest of the station was free to move on. They did…until today.
If anybody’s got more information on this enforcement action, please send it along. I’ve got some major catch-up work to do on the Enforcement Action Database; look for that (and a full update, plus lots of extra bonus material) to hit the ‘net over the course of next week.
