WASHINGTON _ Joe Cavanagh wants to be a voice for his community.
Cavanagh, from Willemantic, Conn., hosts a radio show at WHUS - a community radio station affiliated with the University of Connecticut in Storrs, Conn. His show, "The Living Tradition," features Celtic music, song and stories.
WHUS is a non-commercial public station that broadcasts in southern Massachuttsets, eastern Connecticut and western Rhode Island. It covers a zone of about 75 miles.
But in August, Cavanagh will branch out on his own to apply for a new kind of radio station - a low power FM station - to broadcast his music. He said he wants to continue to play music that appeals to a smaller section of his community.
