MARRIL CORSEN MEDIA PROJECT, LTD.
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:
  • Marengo,
  • Riley,
  • Coral, and
  • Seneca.

This website (www.ourmediaproject.com) shall serve as a source of information
regarding the corporate development. It shall include:
  • The Articles of Incorporation filed with the Illinois Secretary of State (SOS)
  • Bylaws and amendments adopted by the Board of Directors
  • Financial records including budgets, balance sheets, cash flow statements,
    and profit and loss statements
  • Agenda, waivers, minutes, and resolutions from Board of Director Meetings
  • Standards, guides, practices, and policies adopted by the Board of Directors
  • Official filings and applications submitted to governmental agencies, such
    as the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Federal Communications
    Commission (FCC), Illinois Attorney General (AG), and the Illinois Secretary
    of State (SOS).
  • Any other information that would help assure oversight and transparency, as
    well as keeping site visitors informed of our status.

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
subsequently build, license, 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: On Tuesday January 4, 2011 the Local Community Radio Act of 2010
(HR6533) was signed by President Obama and is now law. The Presidents
signature direct
s the FCC to open windows of opportunity to apply for LPFM station
construction permit
s. On Wednesday January 5th,  FCC Chairman Genachowski
announced that "the FCC will take swift action to open the dial..."

Congratulations are due to all those who contributed to the 10 year effort to bring
more community radio stations to the FM air waves. This success is the biggest
development in the plan to bring a LPFM station to the Marengo area.

Stay tuned for more information regarding the status of the progress towards
winning an LPFM construction permit.
