<http://www.elencuentro.cl/radio/>With relationship to community radios in Internet, I have had the pleasure to listen in live in Internet from Santiago of Chile (Commune of Pe�alol�n) to the radio station FM Radio Encuentro. The initiative, supported by "El Encuentro, Community Center of Access to Internet", is magnificent, the varied programming and the format Web of very high quality. The most important thing is distilled of their command, which I transcribe next:

"We look for to be a channel of communication of interests and necessities of the diverse sectors of our commune, especially of those that find more difficulties to be expressed in the massive media. With we seek to contribute it to the education, the entertainment, to the recreation and the cultural development of the communities, favoring with it to the improvement of their relationships and quality of life. As Community Radio we intend to contribute to the dialogue among the different sectors of the civil society, recognizing you like active part of her. This dialogue is founded in the right of all the people to be expressed by any via and for any means, according to it points out it the fundamental Letter of the human rights and the Political Constitution of Chile. In a world, from a communication point of view, globalized and homogenized, the radio community search to express the identities and cultures characteristic of the fellows in a particular reality."
