Marian Smith's Company Details

Recognizing the need for our community to have a local community radio station, The American River Folk Society (ARFS) applied for a construction permit to build and license a Community Broadcast station in the Georgetown area. On Dec 4th, 2000 the Federal Communication Commission granted them a permit for a Low Power FM station to be built and operated at 95.1 FM. The American River Folk Society's board of directors then voted to create the Georgetown Divide Community Broadcast Committee (GDCBC) to carry out the setup, policy definition and operation of the radio station. This committee of local community members met on a regular basis for several months to formulate and execute a plan to get our community radio station on the air. In order for us to qualify for licensing"KFOK LPFM Georgetown" had to be broadcasting a minimum of of 36 hours a week with at least 5 hours of broadcasting 6 days a week by December 4, 2002. KFOK went on air on November 23, 2002 broadcasting 7 days a week with more than 40 hours of weekly programming.
