For the past 100 years CFRC has been providing radio programming that has helped connect, inform, and entertain the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s and Kingston community. Originally created by Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Engineering faculty and students in Fleming Hall in 1922, CFRC is now one of the oldest campus stations in the world.
The station produces a mix of music programs covering a wide variety of genres, interview shows, news segments, and podcasts. Among the alumni who have shared the airwaves are renowned CBC broadcasters Lorne Greene and Shelagh Rogers, and Sportsnet NHL commentator Chris Cuthbert.

Celebratory Event
CFRC will be holding a special event to recognize its centennial anniversary. On Oct. 7, at 1 p.m. an outdoor plaque will be unveiled outside of Carruthers Hall to celebrate the occasion. Principal and Vice-chancellor Patrick Deane, City of Kingston Mayor Bryan Paterson, and student government leaders will offer short remarks, alongside Alumni, and distinguished CFRC volunteers and station staff. Tours of the newly renovated recording studio, and a pop-up exhibit organized by the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Archives will display items with historical significance.
Evolution of CFRC
The station has approximately 100 active volunteers, 50 of whom are students, and 50 coming from the Kingston community. They are supported by seven staff members consisting of three core members, and four students.
As a community radio station, CFRC is unique in Kingston as it encourages volunteers and staff members to have a voice on current issues and initiatives. In addition to covering news, sports, and weather, CFRC also spotlights researchers and diverse populations in the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s and Kingston community while providing training and the opportunity to develop broadcasting skills.
Principal Emeritus Daniel Woolf is a long-time supporter, volunteer, and dedicated member of the Board of Directors at the station. He카지노 게임 컬렉션s the host of Dark Glasses, a show that features an eclectic mix of music, and has been on air since 2012.
카지노 게임 컬렉션We live in a relatively small city that is underserved by other radio stations in terms of a mix of spoken word and non-top 40 music,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Daniel Woolf. 카지노 게임 컬렉션CFRC provides an opportunity for students and interested volunteers such as me to broadcast about things they are passionate about and, I might add, it카지노 게임 컬렉션s rather humbling to be in such exalted company as some of the former CFRC broadcasters who began their broadcasting careers right here at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s.카지노 게임 컬렉션
Recently CFRC has built capacity for greater campus and community news reporting through the federal government's program. These efforts include feature interviews with Queen's researchers, students, and staff members across campus and provide opportunities to share news and their insights, and initiatives for the benefit of the Queen's and wider Kingston communities.
Over the years, CFRC has changed locations, radio transmitters, and weathered differing levels of funding and support from university partners. Following CFRC카지노 게임 컬렉션s separation from the AMS in 2014, the station has since operated as an independent not-for-profit. During the evolution of station, CFRC has remained committed to amplifying student involvement and providing quality programming.
카지노 게임 컬렉션I카지노 게임 컬렉션ve learned that broadcasting takes a lot of creativity, especially when you are the creator and editor of a show,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Skylar James, second year Media and Performance Production student. 카지노 게임 컬렉션It카지노 게임 컬렉션s super rewarding to be able to experiment with new ideas and concepts, making a set list with a theme, and editing the show for a platform that is open to hosting a wide variety of programs.카지노 게임 컬렉션
The changes CFRC has gone through over the years can be seen through the Queen's Archives , a virtual timeline which includes audio of recordings, and photos dating to the early 1900's.
