To fill a need for truth based media The Real News began broadcasting in 2009 at MIT's college radio station, WMBR 88.1FM. When the original host and creator Matt Davidson graduated in 2011, the show came to an abrupt halt. Thankfully in 2012 co-hosts Frank Capone and Drea Romi with the help of Occupy Boston Radio revived The Real News and moved it to http://www.obr.fm where you could still liste
n LIVE every Tuesday night from 9:30pm-11pm ET
Then in the summer of 2014 Encuentro 5, where OBR's studio is located, moved to a new location and The Real News stopped broadcasting live. Frank went on to host The Yung Jurks on WEMF Radio from their Cambridge studios. His show is now also syndicated on Activate Tuesdays and Wednesdays in The Real News time slot. Drea was invited to join Science for the People at MIT and is currently heading her own consulting firm, The-Regular.com, that works on a sliding scale for small, sustainable businesses. Stay tuned to Activate Radio and listen for rebroadcasts of old The Real News episodes! The Real News Crew continues to offer outreach advocacy to community members interested in starting their own community radio.
