It’s a big year for the station. You may have noticed that as the FM dial in Calgary has seen the addition of a couple more stations, CJSW’s 90.9 frequency can be a little hard to hear in some parts of the city. To remedy the situation, the station is looking to increase the 4,000 watts we currently broadcast up to around 20,000. This increase would extend our signal a little further than it currently travels, but most importantly it should help with the interference within the city limits. It would also make CJSW one of the highest powered community radio stations anywhere in Canada! The new transmitter and engineering costs required to implement this change are very costly, and the only way we’ll be able to pay for this is with your support. Please put the power in our tower and help us make radio science a reality in 2012 by calling 403-220-5000 during funding drive!
We count on your support to allow us to continue to bring you the finest radio programming in Calgary and beyond. And let’s not forget our amazing annual pledge incentives; which will be updated soon.
Stay glued to your radio from Friday October 19th through Friday October 26th for all the excitement and make sure to get out an bask in the CJSW community at all of the great live drive events throughout the city.
Way back when I was still living in Calgary, I used to really enjoy "Radio Free Nowhere" on Monday afternoon. I will certainly be pledging again this year, thanks for the reminder.
