As of 2011, it is aired in 39 states on 139 stations. The National Radio Project is based in Oakland, California. Many of the journalists who have produced documentaries for ''Making Contact'' have also contributed reporting for Pacifica Radio station KPFA-FM in Berkeley, California, which has aired the program since its inception. ==History== In 1994, a small group of community activists and journalists met in an Oakland café to discuss how to counter the new proliferation of “hate radio” a genre epitomized by Rush Limbaugh and others. The National Radio Project and its flagship radio series, ''Making Contact'' grew out of those discussions. On the National Radio Project website, show pages feature links to the people and groups heard on the show to encourage people to get involved. In 2007, ''Making Contact'' was subscribed to by 180 radio stations.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Making Contact (radio program)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
