WSCA-LP (106.1 FM) is a low-power community radio station in Portsmouth, New Hampshire; the mission of Portsmouth Community Radio is to operate a nonprofit, listener supported, volunteer driven, non-commercial FM community radio station dedicated to serving the greater Portsmouth community.
WSCA-LP began broadcasting on September 12, 2004. Its launch came at the end of a three-day Prometheus Radio Project "barnraising" event during which time a vacant factory space was converted into a fully functional radio station. More than 200 volunteers attended the event from several distant states as well as Canada and England.[2][3][4]
The station's parent organization is the Seacoast Arts and Cultural Alliance.[5]
Judd Gregg, then-senator and former governor of New Hampshire, led the opposition to the U.S. Federal Communications Commission's plans to license low-power radio stations, most notably by sponsoring the Radio Broadcasting Preservation Act.[6] Prometheus Technical Director Pete Tridish said the group "wanted to help build a station right in the state of the man in the Senate, Senator Judd Gregg, who has done the most to oppose community radio."[4] Gregg's senatorial challenger, Doris "Granny D" Haddock was invited to speak at the barnraising.[2][7][8]
Portsmouth Community Radio is a mixed format station. Like many community stations it broadcasts diverse and alternative programming, most of which is produced locally and reflects the cultural, educational, artistic, civic, and business fabric of the listening community. It has become known for its original public affairs programs, which number more than those of the local NPR affiliate.[9]

Joyce Catherine Murray (born July 11, 1954) is a Canadian politician who represented the riding of Vancouver Quadra in the House of Commons as a member of the Liberal Party from 2008 until 2025. She was re-elected in the 41st, 42nd, 43rd, and 44th federal elections. Murray was appointed as President of the Treasury Board and Minister of Digital Government on March 18, 2019. She was re-appointed as Minister of Digital Government following the 2019 election. In 2021, she was appointed Minister of Fisheries, Oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard, a position she held until July 2023. Murray previously served as a cabinet minister in the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia, first as Minister of Water, Land, and Air Protection from 2001 to 2004 and then as Minister of Management Services until 2005.

WNHI (106.5 FM) is a Christian worship formatted radio station. Licensed to Farmington, New Hampshire, the station's transmitter is located in New Durham. The station serves the Lakes and Seacoast Regions of New Hampshire, and is owned by Educational Media Foundation. The station signed on in 1999 with a deep oldies format as WZEN, competing with WQSO. WZEN adopted the WMEX letters shortly after they were dropped by what is now WQOM (1060 AM) in 2001. The WMEX call letters, which were also used from 1985 until 1996 on what is now WWDJ (1150 AM) in Boston and on WEXP in Westport, New York, from 1996 until 1999, refer to a popular top-40 station of the 1960s and 1970s on 1510 AM in Boston (which has since reclaimed the WMEX call sign). On January 28, 2008, AllAccess.com reported that the station was in the process of being sold to the Educational Media Foundation for $1 million. On June 2, 2008, the station went out with the Righteous Brothers' "Rock n Roll Heaven" as its last tune. While the station changed its call letters to WKHL, implying that it would join K-LOVE, the station ended up joining sister network Air 1 instead. A few weeks later, the call sign was again changed, this time to the current WNHI.
Before the 1921 destruction of Tulsa’s Greenwood District, Black residents had created a remarkable center of business and community life. The district included stores, professional offices, entertainment venues and homes owned by Black citizens. Understanding Greenwood means learning what was built—not only what was burned.
