WORLD RADIO PARIS
WRP will be the best way to get your news in Paris, both local and international. A radio station in English for Paris is a dream many expats and English language lovers have had for years. This is a very exciting project with great potential, but that can only become a reality thanks to you, our future listeners.

Allocation of funds
<p>
</p>
<p>
As you can imagine, launching a radio station requires a lot of money... </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
This first crowd-funding effort is aimed at helping with the initial expenses : promotional and marketing tools, basic studio equipment (microphones, headsets, mixing console, computers, software, furniture, etc...), server costs and streaming setup fees.</p>

Our radio being a news/talk station, this requires lots of different audio contributions from our volunteers. We want them to be able to record from home. But to achieve this, we need to buy a USB radio-quality microphone for each one of them. This is also something we want to do thanks to your financial help.</p>

</p>
<p>
Although we will have a permanent fund-raising committee (which you can join!) we urgently need to invest in this crucial basic equipment to start our recordings (promos, jingles...) <img alt="Untitled_oxygen3-wood" src="https://kkbb-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/project_image/image/1593/untitled_OXYGEN3-WOOD.jpg"></p>
