Hello there!
As we gear up to celebrate World Radio Day on Thursday, February 13th, 2025, we are excited to invite you to a significant event that underscores radio’s vital role in uniting communities across Canada and beyond. We were thinking you could provide some valuable information and interesting discussion during this event on our live-to-air, syndicated radio show and in-person event.
After last year’s event, the NCRA/ANREC, CKCU and Farm Radio International and are collaborating once again to bring you an environmentally focused live-to-air broadcast, with this year’s theme being “Radio and Climate Change” we hope to showcase the transformative power of radio in promoting dialogue, fostering cultural diversity, and giving a voice to underrepresented communities.
What to expect
Snacks with radio peers alike and a live broadcast by CKCU. This is an event that aims to bring industry professionals together, as well as politicians, to showcase the power of radio.
The event will take place at Carleton University from 11am to 2pm EST on February 13th, 2025. Lunch will be provided free of charge.
How to Participate
- Attend in person and be live on air for a quick discussion.
This discussion can touch on the theme “Radio and Climate Change” or another relevant theme to community radio, and our celebration could take 5 to 10 minutes.
- Pre-produced sections.
CKCU would love to get pre-produced mini-segments from your station to air for the broadcast.
To participate in the on-air portion of the event, please reply to this email before January 31st, and we can start to coordinate.
If you wish to attend, registration is free, but you need food numbers. Please reserve your spot here.
If you cannot attend but would still like to show your support, we ask that you take the time to tune in and show support for your favourite local radio station, campus radio, public broadcast, or a special program that day.
We look forward to seeing you on World Radio Day. If you know anyone interested in attending, please feel free to share my contact information with them (barry@ncra.ca) so I can share more details about the event.
Warm regards,
Barry Rooke
