They understand that radio stations, even community radio stations, need to generate income to stay afloat, but they should be mindful of the frequency, intrusiveness, and appropriateness of their advertising. Southall's Desi Radio earns up to 50% of its revenue this way, and it has a six-month waiting list for potential advertisers. The Prometheus Radio Project was founded by former pirate radio stations that were part of Radio Mutiny, an unlicensed broadcaster located in West Philadelphia that broadcasted in the mid-1990s.
This organization works to ensure that community members and non-profit groups have an equitable share of the radio spectrum. They organize events that bring together the local community with community radio advocates from around the world to build a community radio station and promote the movement for democracy in the media.
