Berlin Community Radio Winds Up Crowdfunding Campaign
The Berlin-based radio station has rallied supporters to cast their votes in a crowdfunding contest that would help sustain operations for another year.
Berlin Community Radio finishes up a 12-day crowdfunding marathon today, which—if successful—will help the station remain active for another year. Established by Anastasia Filipovna and Sarah Miles (pictured above) in 2013, BCR hosts regular transmissions from familiar faces on XLR8R such as DJ Richard, Terekke, and former contributor Palms Trax, and features guest appearances from the likes of Ital, Anthony Naples, Huerco S., and Loefah. As an independent operation without corporate sponsorship, BCR launched a campaign to raise funds at the start of 2015, and is currently the leading contender in a media grant contest sponsored by the city of Berlin, which would award Filipovna and Miles €5000 to sustain operations throughout this year and into the next. Voting is open through midnight CET on March 12 and no registration is required—just click the heart beside Berlin Community Radio to enter. A full BCR on-air schedule is available via the station’s website here.
