Below are some highlights of recent audio contibutions to the IMC-UK newswire. Anyone can upload audio recordings, be it speeches, interviews, or their own reports. If you are interested in collaborating on creating and distributing radical radio programming, get involved by joining the IMC UK Radio list.

There are a variety of groups and individuals working within the IMC UK framework to produce radio programs. Indymedia Radio London produce an hour long show broadcast in London by Resonance FM every Wednesday between 1pm and 2pm. In the past they have mobilised to provide streaming coverage from the IMC set up for DSEi2003. Another regular show available online and broadcast on Resonance FM is Slow Small Peasants with audio landscapes on social and ecological justice every Friday 2-3pm. The show evolved out of Diversity Radio which disseminated the diverse views of participants and others during the World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg 2002. They also covered the (COP6) Convention on Biological Diversity.

rampART radio was born when a studio was created at the rampART social centre in September 2004 as part of media production facilities aimed at providing independent media coverage during the London European Social Forum held in October. When the ESF finished the station continued, adding a variety of regular live programs, and putting out daily news and events listings. rampART radio will shortly celebrate it's first birthday but has been considering proposals to de-brand the station and concentrate on building up and strengthening a wider radio network collaboration.

In Manchester, for over 3 years, Under The Pavement has been providing reports from local activist communities and news from Indymedia. It is broadcast on ALL FM 96.9, a local community radio station, every other Monday from 9pm to 11pm.

For the G8 mobilisation in July, a new group was formed called the Radical Radio Coalition which brought together radical radio makers from around the world. The result was a repositry of in-depth multilingual coverage about the protests and the issues. Plans to stream from the IMC set up in Edinburgh met technical difficulties but rampART radio filled the gaps with five days of live up-to-the-minute coverage rebroadcast by stations around the world.

You can find loads of radical stations to listen to online via radio.indymedia.org
