We have our frequency
I got a call yesterday from the uber important all powerful government body that decides these things, and I’ve been assigned 93.9 FM. Actual official like paper work will follow of course. Starting August 28th, 2009 at 1 pm, you will hear Town Radio Beausejour. Kind of exciting I must say!
And I just realised I’m only two weeks from the launch date. I feel soooo not ready. I still have lots of drilling and building and installing type stuff to do, though I’m pretty confident I’ll have the basics covered.
On the Air August 28th
We have our first air date. August 28th, 2009.
We’ve pleased to announce we’ll be covering the annual Shades of the Past car show on Park Avenue in Beausejour. Our official start time will be 1pm. If you’d like to come out for when we officially ‘flick the switch’, please do so. Town Radio Beausejour staff will be on hand to offer information pamphlets and answer questions.
As soon as we have our frequency allocated, we’ll post it on the website. Check back often!
First Announcement
For Immediate Release:
have microphone, will travel
Eastman Media of Beausejour, Manitoba is pleased to announce the creation of a new FM Radio service named Town Radio Beausejour to service Beausejour and the surround area. It’s focus is community building through promoting local not-for-profit organizations and special events.
Compared to typical radio stations, Town Radio Beausejour is quite different . It will operate under a non-commercial permit, funded by local area Sponsors, who receive airings of a customizable message in thanks for their sponsorship.
Town Radio Beausejour will play a variety of music genres, and will focus on local music, and music not generally heard on the radio. Radio shows will be 100% locally produced. Participation from the public will be strongly encouraged and facilitated. In addition to music, some ‘talk radio’ will be heard, also locally produced.
With the clear mandate of community building, Town Radio Beausejour will work with a variety of ‘Hosts’, originating broadcasts from their location. The title of the this announcement is ‘have microphone, will travel’ for a reason. Once or twice a month, Town Radio Beausejour will relocate to a new location to continue broadcasting. For the duration of each of these broadcast periods, typically about 3 weeks long, the ‘Host’ organization will be the primary organization or special event promoted.
We’re not on the air yet, but launch day is coming soon. Be sure to watch for our announcement when we’re assigned our frequency and will begin broadcasting. If you are involved with a local organization or special event, and wish to arrange being a Host, or if you’re a local area business, and wish to be a Sponsor for Town Radio Beausejour, please contact Lane Robinson at Eastman Media.
