Fried Green Radio
Fried Green Radio was a short-lived independent radio station for the Birmingham area which began broadcasting over the Internet on January 1, 2007.
Oorganizers Angie May, Dama Nichols, and Lisa Cordes attempted to establish themselves as a non-profit organization with the goal of launching an over-the-air broadcast, likely on an AM frequency. The original broadcasts originated from Nichols' basement in Irondale, and plans called for the station to move to a studio in Southside.
FGR's focus was to provide local listeners with a lineup of material that was not found on mainstream radio. Playlists were to include blues from the 1920s to 1940s, underground hip-hop, themed rock, literary readings, hardcore, ghost stories and conspiracy theories.
Benefit shows were held at The High Note Lounge, Rojo and Bottletree Cafe.
