True about college radio and these community stations. BumbleBeeRadio is out of Beverly with
WBZ's Kristen Eck. Stations like my WMWM and also WMFO have done local band interviews, played new releases and had local artists perform live ("Live Day", "Acoustic Day")

will give exposure to local artists.
