Last August we interviewed local media activists about developments
at the Urbana-Champaign Independent Media Center, such as the
purchase of a building in downtown Urbana and the pending launch of a
new community radio station, WRFU, based at the IMC. WRFU will be
launched as part of a 'radio barnraising' being held at the IMC this
