Radio CPR
Radio CPR (97.5 FM) is an unlicensed, small community radio station operating in the Mount Pleasant, Columbia Heights, and Adams Morgan neighborhoods of Washington, D.C.
Started as a project of Stand for Our Neighbors, a group of DC residents concerned about the negative impacts of welfare and immigration reform legislation in the 1990s on those communities. Radio CPR has been broadcasting full-time since 1999. It is a multi-format station, focusing on music and talk radio shows that are representative of Washington, DC's diverse population and not otherwise available on the airwaves. Programming includes shows devoted to go-go, punk rock, Latin, underground hip hop, soul, afro-pop, as well as community news, women's and health issues, and youth issues hosted by the Youth Action Research Group.
CPR stands for "Community Power Radio."
