San Francisco Chronicle Reports on SF Liberation Radio Raid

The Chronicle’s report is surprisingly fair and gives plenty of space to SFLR volunteers and listeners. Perhaps that’s because the FCC declined to comment, giving up its opportunity to smear SFLR.

Still, there’s few details about the raid itself, nor the force and tactics used. John at DIYmedia.net reports that the federal marshalls used a battering ram, and at first raided the wrong apartment in the building housing the station. He also notes that Freak Radio Santa Cruz, about 70 miles south of SF, “is on heightened alert for an FCC incursion, as it shares similar circumstances.”

All of SFLR’s equipment has been seized.
