A new Voice of Bainbridge (by Tina Lieu)

It all started with frustration, searching for a decent radio program on Sunday night while washing the dishes. Besides the lack of talk programs, Philippe Boucher wanted to hear more programs about Bainbridge, the environment and political issues not covered by mainstream media.
"But how do you serve a community like Bainbridge Island?" said Boucher, a Winslow resident.
"The logic is we should have our own radio (station)."
