DALLAS, Aug. 25 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Richar' Farr describes his new Internet
radio station as "a town hall meeting on radio." He calls it Kids' Rights
Radio - KRights for short. Farr is the KRightsRadio.com founder and main
on-air commentator. The unique station began its unusual and compelling
broadcast on Aug 1, 2004, and is now on the air 24 hours a day, 7 days a
week.
"This is an exciting and historic event for fatherhood, children, and the
family rights movement. It's a great leap forward. For years, noncustodial
parents and their extended families have not been able to easily tell
their stories in the media. On Aug. 1, 2004 this all changed. Now, we can
start organizing the approximately 14 million noncustodial parents and
their families into a huge listenership," said Farr.
KRightsRadio.com offers unique programming: fresh up-to-date reports,
interviews, breaking news, and commentary on marriage, divorce, family,
child support, paternity fraud, child custody, "visitation," parents -
anything relevant. One of Farr's goals is to increase general public
awareness of pervasive damaging stereotypes and policies that have led to
adverse consequences for families and fatherhood, and therefore for
taxpayers and society as a whole. Farr envisions KRightsRadio as an
instrument for positive change.
Why a station devoted to children's and family rights?
Farr says, "There is a huge hunger and need for this. We're tapping into
new territory." Farr added, "We anticipate a swift and tremendous reach.
People in general will be fascinated with the surprising truths and
astonishing stories that many will hear for the very first time. What is
happening daily to good families is simply mind-boggling. Too many
noncustodial parents, mostly fathers, are dead bolted, unfairly locked out
of their children's lives. They need somewhere to air their grievances and
work for positive change."
According to Farr, KRightsRadio.com's unique, and sometimes controversial,
fresh programming is aimed to counterbalance a negative view of men and
fathers that has become prevalent throughout our culture and society. He
would also like policymakers and family experts to tune in. "Too many
families and children are suffering under unfair policies that stand
today. We're going to expose the injustices," says Farr.
Experts and scholars in the field, including attorneys, psychologists,
researchers, activists, and others are being interviewed for the
broadcast. Farr plans to interview celebrities and media correspondents
covering issues of interest to KRightsRadio's target audience.
On KrightsRadio.com you'll hear stories like that of Texas dad, Morgan
Wise, who was featured in a New York Times article and was interviewed on
Fox News Channel's, "The O'Reilly Factor." After many years, Morgan Wise
discovered that 3 of 4 of his beloved children were not his biologically.
Amazingly, at one point, a family court judge issued an order preventing
Morgan from visiting his children, including even his biological child,
while enforcing a court order for child support.
"Not only are we hoping to be an information clearinghouse and become a
voice for families, we are hoping to become a useful tool for grassroots
activism and unity of effort. I'm starting a list of listeners - I call it
a 'constituency list.' We know there are millions of us out here. Now
we're going to prove it," said Farr.
Any radio station wishing to have access to the rapidly growing
KRightsRadio.com audience and programming will be able to get the feed
from the station by contacting Richard Farr at: 817-223-0126.
"The potential reach of this station is tremendous. There is a hunger for
this information and for custodial and noncustodial families suffering in
the family courts and child support agencies to have a voice.
KRightsRadio.com fills a niche, and I expect it will continue to grow very
rapidly. Farr has a major success on his hands," said news commentator
Roger Crition.
