Calling out to all NCRC attendees!

Greetings to all conference attendees!

This years NCRC is going to be broadcasting on CKGI’s proposed 98.7 fm for the duration of the conference. As a result we are putting a general call out to all those attending, who might want to showcase some new music you just need everyone to hear, or a spoken word show that you feel would be relevant, or anything in between, we are going to be having a sign up sheet at the conference.

We will be broadcasting our currently running web stream: www.ckgi.ca/audio-stream/ when we don’t have scheduled programs and shows.

SO, bring your music, your diatribes, news voices and more!

Disclaimer: As we have a temporary licence to broadcast, all artists being showcased must give their permission to use their music for this purpose.

We are exempt from  the CRTC process under http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/2000/pb2000-10.htm
