Prometheus Radio Project
Pete Tridish was a member of the founding collective of Radio Mutiny, 91.3 FM, in Philadelphia. He is also a founder of the Prometheus Radio Project. In 1997, he was an organizer for Radio Mutiny's demonstrations at Benjamin Franklin's Printing Press and the Liberty Bell; on both occasions the station broadcast in open defiance of the FCC's unfair rules that prohibit low power community broadcasting.
Tridish also worked on the first two microradio conferences on the East Coast -- and organized radio barnraisings in five communities around the United States. He participated actively in the rulemaking that led to the adoption of LPFM and sat on the committee that sponsored the crucial Broadcast Signal Labs study, which proved to the FCC that LPFM would not cause interference.
Tridish has helped to build a number of low power radio stations and provided advice to hundreds. He has done radio trainings in Guatemala, Colombia, Nepal and other countries, and has spoken at colleges and coffee shops, in living rooms, and even at the CATO Institute.
