History
After applying for an LPFM license in November 2013,[7] Takoma Radio was awarded the license for 94.3 fm by the FCC in January 2015. The effort was led by a group of local volunteers, organized by Takoma Park resident and broadcast veteran Marika Partridge. "Good morning, world, this is Takoma Radio," said Partridge, the first words broadcast from the station at 9:43am on July 16, 2016[8] from a volunteer-built studio in the heart of historic Takoma Park.[4]
On June 1, 2024 Bob Boilen took over as program director.[9]
Programming
Takoma Radio features a variety of music and talk programming and features shows such as Afropop Worldwide, broadcasters such as literary scholar Carolivia Herron and host of NPR's All Songs Considered Bob Boilen, and specials such as vintage jazz expert Rob Bamberger and live performances from local musicians.
