WPEB Background

BACKGROUND: In early 2008, Philadelphia saw the rebirth of WPEB 88.1 FM, a community radio station serving West Philadelphia. In its first stage, the new WPEB is being stewarded by Scribe Video Center (2011, they offer Workshops to community). Partnering with Scribe are West Philadelphia-based organization Prometheus Radio Project and a growing variety of community and cultural groups. WPEB provides a much needed local, progressive, and accountable media outlet to serve as a voice for West Philadelphia’s many communities. The station plans to provide a forum for community based organizations and be a place to discuss the issues that affect us, play music not heard on mainstream media, and promote education and creative substantive expression. 2010, Scribe>WPEB at two years old is now a member of The National Federation of Community Broadcasters. ( 37th Annual NFCB Community Radio Conference, June 13-16, 2012 | Houston, Texas )
