| About Village 900 |
Village 900 is a non-profit campus/instructional radio station located at Camosun College in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.Our mandate is threefold; to provide an alternative radio service to the people of Victoria, to train broadcast students in co-operation with the Applied Communication Program at Camosun College, and to produce and air educational programming for university transfer credit. Village 900 is operated by the non-profit CKMO Radio Society. Our music programming is a format called Global Roots, a contemporary mix of folk, roots and worldbeat music. We receive our funding from a number of sources including operating grants from Camosun College, fundraising, sponsorships, corporate underwriting, and membership fees. On September 4th, 2000 CKMO radio blossomed into a 10,000-watt radio station at 900 on the AM dial. With the flick of a switch, CKMO expanded its broadcast range to cover southern Vancouver Island, the lower mainland and the northern part of Washington State - a potential audience of 1.5 million listeners. Since then we've created a fresh, new voice in the community. A music policy that reflects the multicultural nature of the community we live in and public affairs programming that bring a global perspective to Victoria. We call this voice...VILLAGE 900. |
