Radio23 was a non-commercial, freeform radio station[1] founded by Programming Director Jeff Hylton Simmons[3] and launched in 2009.[4] It was shut down in July 2015. The successor called Freeform Portland went on air in April 2016. Based out of Portland, Oregon, where it supported the local artists[5] and community,[1][6] the station's goal was to provide an international artistic platform for home broadcasters around the world,[7][8][9][10] and to teach anyone around the world how to create radio with a computer and an internet connection.
