We began as an idea in 1999 when local community activists learned the Federal Communications Commission would soon open up the โ€œpublicโ€ airwaves to Low Power FM community stations. These new stations would be considered a โ€œsecondary serviceโ€ with very limited rights. In 2000, Thin Air became a formal project of Citizens for Clean Air. Thin Air was built almost entirely by hundreds of volunteers d

onating thousands of hours and $40,000 in donations. In 2003, we raised more than 100 Founding Members, emphasizing our mission of providing a platform for neglected voices and music. After waiting nearly two years to receive the permit from the FCC, the station was built in only 8 months. Broadcasting began October 26th, 2003 with a dozen live programs hosted by volunteers from the community. In our short time on-the-air, our hard-working volunteers have trained dozens of volunteer programmers, and we now have more than 40 live, locally produced shows on-the-air. We are proud that we have successfully created a forum for discussion and expression by and for those typically left out of the mainstream media. November 5th, 2011, Thin Air Radio became a full power, non-commercial station, broadcasting with 6,800 watts and reaching as far north as Kettle Falls, WA.

This week the Spotlight is on a new release called ASTROPICAL. This represents a collaboration between Colombia's Bomba Estรฉreo and Rawayana from Venezuela creating a Caribbean basin supergroup. ASTROPICAL is a neo-logistic contraction of "astrology" and "tropical", and the music is loosely based on the writings of Puerto Rican astrologer Walter Mercado.

Today the spotlight is on the late jazz vibraphonist, Roy Ayers, who injected Soul into Jazz and helped introduce a funkier strain of the music in the 1970s. He also had an impact on hip-hop: His โ€œEverybody Loves the Sunshineโ€ has been sampled nearly 200 times.

Our Story

We began as an idea in 1999 when local community activists learned the Federal Communications Commission would soon open up the โ€œpublicโ€ airwaves to Low Power FM community stations. These new stations would be considered a โ€œsecondary serviceโ€ with very limited rights.

In 2000, Thin Air became a formal project of Citizens for Clean Air. Thin Air was built almost entirely by hundreds of volunteers donating thousands of hours and $40,000 in donations. In 2003, we raised more than 100 Founding Members, emphasizing our mission of providing a platform for neglected voices and music.

After waiting nearly two years to receive the permit from the FCC, the station was built in only 8 months.

Broadcasting began October 26th, 2003 with a dozen live programs hosted by volunteers from the community. In our short time on-the-air, our hard-working volunteers have trained dozens of volunteer programmers, and we now have more than 40 live, locally produced shows on-the-air.
