And so we try... Kommunen

Well here we go! That's all I can say...

Today we have a meeting with Gotlands Kommun (council) to see whether they are interested or as they say in Swedish, 'om dom vill satsa' on our project and for the youth of Gotland.

• We have an unbelievable project combining the radio, school newspaper, web radio and internet mediums all at once.
• We are able to connect all the kids on the island and give them a 'voice' in all mediums.
• We are able to provide education and training. (and have people waiting)
• We are able to create jobs. (and have people waiting)
• We are able to sell Gotland to the tourists from overseas and the mainland.
• We are 100% unique in what we do, and what we are tring to acheive.
• AND Ladies and Gents we are 100% Gotlandic. We transmit 24hours from Gotland, and are the only onces who do! As they say "Gotlands Egna och Enda Radiostation."

So, will they or wont they - that my friends is the golden question. We have all read in the newspaper about the money that has been given else where and nothing happened with it.

For example one project has got of 66million kronor so far, and hasn't produced anything. With a budget like that we could run for the next 44years. They have only been running for what... 4 or 5?

And don't forget that 'amazing tv' channel that got 4.5million kronor for 6 months - that's 3 years for us.

Because of this we decided to start and finance Wisby FM ourselves until we knew that we had a project that worked. Well now we have, plus we have kids and students contacting us daily wanting to join and looking for experience, training and work.

So fingers crossed, or as they say in Swedish - hold your thumbs!
