Students at Mount Allison University in Sackville, New Brunswick will soon be able to tune into TGM. Sackville’s campus and community radio station, CHMA 106.9FM, will broadcast the program on Wednesdays at 3PM, AST.

TGM is hitting the airwaves in Atlantic Canada thanks to Fredericton’s campus and community station, CHSR 97.9FM, and St. John’s campus campus and community station, CFMH 107.3FM.

CHSR is a community station in Fredericton, New Brunswick, with a radiated power of 250 watts. CHSR boasts the largest music library of a Canadian radio station east of Montreal and is one of the oldest stations in Atlantic Canada, dating back to 1950. Its volunteers are drawn from the University of New Brunswick, St. Thomas University and the Fredricton community at large. It is broadcasting TGM on Mondays at 3pm.

CFMH is a relatively young station that has been broadcasting out of broadcasts out of Saint John, New Brunswick since 2001. Its volunteers are primarily drawn from the University of New Brunswick’s St John campus. It has recently moved to its new frequency of 107.3 MHz. CHSR and CFMH are the seventh and eighth stations to join the TGM project and we’re very pleased to be working with them.

The TGM project has been joined by Winnipeg Campus / Community Radio (CKUW 95.9 FM).

.

CKUW has been a going concern since the 1960’s and broadcasts from the University of Winnipeg. Their 450 watt signal covers an population base of 700,000 in Manitoba. CKUW is the sixth community station to join the TGM project.

You can now tune into the program in the Winnipeg area on 95.9 FM on alternating Saturdays from 8-9am EST.

Amhurst Island Public Radio, CJAI 92.1 FM, is the latest station to join the TGM project.

.

CJAI boasts the title of Canada’s smallest legal FM station. Broadcasting out of a milkhouse in an old dairy barn, their 250 watt signal covers the Thousand Island area in Ontario. CJAI is the fifth community station to join the TGM project.

As Stewart McLean might say, they “may not be big, but they’re small.”

You can now tune into the program in the Thousand Islands on 92.1 FM on Wednesdays from 12-1pm EST and Saturdays from 10-11am.

Hot on the heels of our exciting station announcement with CKLU, we’re happy to announce a trial partnership with The University of British Columbia community radio station, CITR 101.9 FM.

.

CITR community radio reaches over two million listeners with a signal that extends from Point Grey to Langley, Squamish to Bellingham and is the fourth community station to join the TGM project.

We will broadcast with CITR for a three-month pilot that may be extended if area listeners are receptive to TGM. Based on our experience in Toronto, we’re confident they will be, and we’re keen on the possibility of introducing more regional diversity into our programming with the help of our BC friends.

You can now tune into the program in the Vancouver area on 101.9 FM on Wednesdays from 1-2pm PST. If you live in the area and enjoy TGM, please let CITR know and help keep us on the air!

We are happy to announce a new partnership with Sudbury’s Alternative Radio Station, CKLU 96.7 FM.

.

CKLU, hailing from Laurentian University, has been broadcasting since 1984, and is the third community station to join the TGM project. We’re excited about the opportunity to bring environmental news to the good folks of Sudbury, Ontario!

You can now tune into the program in the Sudbury area on 96.7 FM on Mondays from 1-2pm EST.

TGM is supporting the 2007 Massey College Walter Gordon Symposium, which will be moderated by TGM host Jordan Poppenk. The title of the symposium is “Harnessing the Green Wave: Taking Action in an Era of Eco-Consciousness.”

The focus will be on what it takes to make environmental change happen, given the current swell in public interest in global warming. While the symposium will be played over a series of future episodes, listeners are encouraged to attend the lecture to participate in the event.

Tickets are free but must be reserved in advance by calling 416-978-6896.

A PSA promoting the symposium is being played on CIUT. You can download the promotion here (right click, save as…), or listen in the player.

TGM was featured in the Fall 2007 edition of University of Toronto Magazine. We’re grateful for the coverage and hope the article will encourage new listeners to tune into the program.
