Yes, you can hear us all the way from the Telkwa landfill to the airport and beyond. We are currently testing our signal, but we are also testing our DJs.

Listen to our youngest DJ, Adrian, do his first show tonight (Friday Dec. 4th) at 5:15pm. On Saturday there is Abdel and Dave presenting their shows back to back starting at 1pm and Sunday Glen spins some Canadian content at 3pm.

Programs and broadcast times are changing regularly, so check the "schedule" at http://www.smithersradio.com.

ps. internet streaming is not yet available - but soon...

Whoo hoo! We did it!

Dated June, 18th, the CRTC awarded the Smithers Community Radio Society with a Developmental Radio Broadcasting License. The ball is officially in our court.
With little hesitation, the board met for our Annual General Meeting on June 30th to discuss the next steps. The minutes are included in the section "latest news", but the short and sweet is that we have created 3 tasks forces to prepare for our launch:

Abdel Naroth (currently our Program Director) is leading a crew that is geting equipment and studio ready for broadcasting.

Well, that was a bit anticlimactic. The CRTC hearing, where our CRTC radio application was to be brought forward on March 30th, turned out to be just the start of the processing phase.

After talking to Michael Craig of the CRTC, I now understand that it could still be another month or so before we know if our application is approved. Sigh.
