About the station

No one in charge.

A handful of volunteers, a transmitter, and a lot of records. This is how Dash Radio runs.

House rules

What we are about.

Dash Radio is a handful of people with a transmitter, a lot of records, and no one to answer to. These are the rules we made up.

  1. Volunteer-run

    Nobody here is paid. Every show, every fundraiser, and every late-night station ID is somebody's free time.

  2. Local first

    If a band from the valley sent us a tape, it gets played. The bigger the label, the lower it sits in the stack.

  3. No ads, no gods

    We do not sell the airwaves. The people who listen keep the lights on, and the people who play are free to play anything.

  4. Always free

    The signal costs nothing to catch, on the dial or on the stream. It will stay that way.

Get involved

Keep it loud.

The station runs on a few dollars from a lot of people. Chip in, or come down and ask for a show.
