[creative-radio] Nov. 2, 1936 - the first day for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation

 

CBC Radio takes to the air

Broadcast Date: Nov. 4, 1936

Audio clip available at:
http://archives.cbc.ca/arts_entertainment/media/clips/12529/

Nov. 2, 1936 launches a new era in Canadian broadcasting. It's the first
day for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, which replaces the Canadian
Radio Broadcasting Commission. In this clip, CBC Chairman Leonard
Brockington tells listeners they can expect many new things from the new
broadcaster. Its governors, he says, have ideas and ideals that are
"almost as numerous as apple blossoms in the Annapolis Valley or peach
blossoms in the Okanagan."

Of the 74 radio stations in Canada, the CBC owns three and leases four
more. Private or public, virtually all are dwarfed by more powerful
American stations, and it will be a challenge for the CBC to ensure
Canadians can hear their own radio. Brockington pledges to provide a wide
variety of programming for listeners. "It is hoped that the radio in
Canada will be a welcome guest at your family fireside, and not a skeleton
in your family cupboard," he says.

[creative-radio] Running a radio station on free software

 

Running a radio station on free software

[excerpt]

http://www.mediahelpingmedia.org/content/view/112/96/

The newest tool to emerge from the Media Development Loan Fund's Campware
Initiative is a tool for managing radio broadcasts and archives called
Campcaster, which enables a PC running Linux to both play sound files
'live' from the studio as well as automatically at a set date and time.

At the same time, it also allows stations using Campcaster to easily
exchange program content, both over the Internet and offline.

Such software, referred to as a playout and automation system, used to
cost thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars, but Campcaster is
offered as free and open source.

Such software, referred to as a playout and automation system, used to
cost thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars, but Campcaster is
offered as free and open source.

And while that means stations can download and use Campcaster for free, in
the long run it also means they are also free to make their own
modifications to the software if they want – the only catch is that if a
station makes changes to the programming code, they must share those
changes with others.

MDLF has worked to implement Campcaster among radio stations in the Cornet
radio network in Sierra Leone. At present, four Sierra Leonian stations
are using Campcaster, as is West Africa Democracy Radio, a station
broadcasting across West Africa on shortwave on 17875 khz and in Dakar on
94.9 FM. A complete list of Campcaster users can be found here.

A media support group, run by Bhutanese journalists living in exile, is
looking for international support in order to continue to develop its media
training programmes and to campaign for media freedom in the region.

The Media Network Bhutan (MNB), run entirely by volunteers, is approaching
its third anniversary. It claims its training courses have helped hundreds
of Bhutanese journalists living in the refugee camps in
Nepal<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search/Nepal>
.

The aim now is to bring together the overseas Bhutanese refugee communities
that have been resettled in the West in order to strengthen their media
skills and to mobilise them in a campaign for media freedom within
Bhutan<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search/Bhutan>
.
