CBC radio has three stations:
You can listen to CBC Radio one (mostly talk programming) here:
http://www.cbc.ca/audio.htmlpick a location and go. In about 40 minutes all locations will broadcast cross-country checkup, but usually the programming varies by location.
on that page, if you select "CBC Radio 3" from the "Radio" menu, you'll hear more recent music programming. i think radio 3 broadcasts during more limited hours during the day.
> >>>I know that our radio stations at the university had a large content devoted to regional news coverage. The students, as well as hired staff, were responsible for gathering, editing and reporting the local news. We even covered the local elections. I learned a lot, even though I'm not interested in radio. AP took care of national news. I thought that we did a wonderful job of reporting fair and accurate (as well as unbiased, THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!) coverage. But, unfortunetly funds do run short.coolness. congrats on doing the good work for keeping people informed.
i guess university radio does fill a niche in that market - you get the local call-in shows, descriptions of local art and cultural events, and interviews with local artists that you get on CBC radio.
but of course university radio doesn't usually get a nice powerful transmitter to go to the corners of the earth :(
anyway enjoy the radio feeds.
