The Marril Corsen Media Project (the Project) is a nonprofit, volunteer, public service
corporation whose purpose is to facilitate relevant information and issues to and
from public service groups and the community to which they serve.
The community comprises all who live in the villages of Union and Marengo, as
well as the four townships of southwest McHenry County, Illinois:
This website (www.ourmediaproject.com) shall serve as a source of information
regarding the corporate development. It shall include:
We shall also endeavour to keep this site current and up to date with anticipated
events as they relate to our progress towards the initiation of services to the
community.
The Project would strive to start, develop, and exploit partnerships with today’s
media as well as those involved in future technologies. The Project’s priority
initiative is to develop, build, and operate a system that would assertively acquire
information from a constantly evolving list of community groups comprising of both
governmental and non-governmental entities and agencies. These target groups
include, but are not limited to the municipalities, townships, county, state, and
federal agencies. It would further seek to acquire information from schools,
churches, and businesses, along with the various public and private civic oriented
groups that serve the public at large. All acquired public information would then be
distributed as effectively and efficiently as possible.
A high priority initiative of the Project is to acquire a FCC construction permit and
license and subsequently build and operate a low power FM (LPFM) radio station.
The LPFM station will serve as an 'anchor' for other information distribution
methods, such as the Internet, printed periodicals, local origination TV, cellular
phones, and associated mobile alerting devices, along with any other ‘conduit’ that
would assure the most comprehensive network of communications that resources
and technology would allow.
NOTE: As of March 9, 2010, the opportunity to apply for LPFM station construction
permits and licenses is essentially closed. Until Congress gives the authority back
to the FCC, the FCC can not grant construction permits or licenses. Passage of the
Local Community Radio Act (H.R. 1147 and S. 592) will provide the opportunity.
Since this bill failed in the 110th Congress, it has been re-introduced in the current
session . During the evening hours of December 16th, 2009, the House of
Representatives overwhelmingly passed H.R. 1147 with a voice vote. The Senate
Bill is sponsored by Senators Maria Cantwell and John McCain and co-sponsored
by Senator Durbin and five others. The Senate Bill is awaiting action on the floor.
