Local Radio Station KGPC Threatened with Closure Due to Budget Cuts - Darwin Bond Graham, East Bay Express

Affixed atop one of the steel poles that holds an array of stadium lights high above Laney College's baseball field near Oakland's Lake Merritt is a small 100-watt antenna. Hardly anyone ever notices this discrete steel spike and bundle of wires, but starting at 7 p.m. each night, with the flip of a switch, a current of electricity begins flowing and the tower radiates an invisible wave of electromagnetic energy carrying the sounds of KGPC as far south as San Leandro and north to Berkeley. And people definitely notice the sounds. On the FM dial at 96.9, KGPC is the Peralta Community College District's low-power radio station. https://www.eastbayexpress.com/oakland/local-radio-station-kgpc-threatened-with-closure-due-to-budget-cuts/Content?oid=17255053
