Are you interested in hosting your own radio show?
 
We at Here and Again Inc. have been working hard this year building WRWO 94.5 FMLP Ottawa Community Radio Station and are nearing completion. We have spoken with many people who share our vision and have expressed an interest in a radio show of their own.

We are now at the point where we are selecting content for the radio station and are looking for individuals who would like to contribute their ideas.

All interested parties should send a short 10-20-minute demo to thelondondmusicrooms@gmail.com in MP3 format by the 20th of January 2017 and a description of the type of show they are interested in making and the frequency of original material they will contribute i.e. 5 days per week, once per month or occasionally. Regular shows more than once per week please include two weeks worth of general show ideas. Also, if you have more then one show idea we would like a demo for each one. If you need technical help you can e-mail the address above. A short list of demos will be made by the end of January and we will contact those individuals for a full show recording and possible interview. Any questions please send us a Facebook message or email.

Community radio

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
 

Community radio is a radio service offering a third model of radio broadcasting in addition to commercial and public broadcasting. Community stations serve geographic communities and communities of interest. They broadcast content that is popular and relevant to a local, specific audience but is often overlooked by commercial or mass-media broadcasters. Community radio stations are operated, owned, and influenced by the communities they serve. They are generally nonprofit and provide a mechanism for enabling individuals, groups, and communities to tell their own stories, to share experiences and, in a media-rich world, to become creators and contributors of media.

In many parts of the world, community radio acts as a vehicle for the community and voluntary sector, civil society, agencies, NGOs and citizens to work in partnership to further community development aims, in addition to broadcasting. There is legally defined community radio (as a distinct broadcasting sector) in many countries, such as France, Argentina, South Africa, Australia and Ireland. Much of the legislation has included phrases such as "social benefit", "social objectives" and "social gain" as part of the definition. Community radio has developed differently in different countries, and the term has somewhat different meanings in the United Kingdom, Ireland, the United States, Canada, and Australia.
