Hi Smithers Community Radio Supporters

You are receiving this email because you so kindly filled our petition of support earlier this year. We promise to not waste your precious inbox space with a flood of emails, but instead, to occasionally update you on the progress of your community radio station.

OK, onto the progress..

www.smithersradio.com launched
Check here often for latest news and eventually live streaming of the station (if you are out of reach of our FM broadcast)

Applications to Industry Canada and the CRTC completed
If you would like to view the CRTC application, check the About section of the website or visit the local library where a copy has been posted. It is unknown as to how long it will take before our broadcasting license is approved, but we are optimistically looking at the end of January as our possible launch date.

Antenna and cable have been purchased
We recently purchased a transmitting antenna and cable so that we could beat the majority of the snowfall and mount it on the rooftop of our studio location, the Onesky building.

Your Radio Show Idea is Needed!
We are at the stage where we need your programming ideas and commitment. We encourage groups to work together on ideas so that the work of creating and broadcasting a program can be shared. Please refer to the Programming Application located on the website for more information.

Volunteer position available
We are looking for a friendly, radio aware(you an avid and eclectic radio listener), individual who can assist our Programming Committee process Programming Applications and work with community members in getting their ideas on air.
If this sounds like you and you can dedicate a couple hours a month, please send an email to info@smithersradio.com.

Thank you for your interest in your local Community Radio Station.
