  • Thank You, Saint John!

    Thank You, Saint John!

    Funding drive is an exhausting week in the most positive sense of the word. Months of planning from staff is put into action by our tireless volunteers who give it their all and hope you respond. Well, Saint John; respond you did! You made those phones ring and threw your love online to give us our best funding drive result ever.

    We expect to announce a final, official tally at the end of November as we collect donation bins and last minute pledges, but our preliminary total is amazing:

    $3773!

    That’s nearly double what you helped us raise in 2015!

    Thank you, thank you, a million times thank you!

  • Welcome Sadie Donahue To Our Team This Summer!

    Local 107.3FM is happy to announce the inclusion of summer intern Sadie Donahue to our team for the next eight weeks as our Marketing/Fundraising Assistant. A local artist in her own right who is working towards obtaining a Bachelor of Music degree at Mount Allison University, Sadie joins us with experience from CHMA 106.9 FM in Sackville where, in addition to producing radio, she has been involved in organization, promotion, sponsorship, networking, and more.

    Sadie writes: “Becoming so involved with the station gave me the chance to meet people I may have otherwise not met, introduced me to music that I now love, and has taught me not only the importance of reaching out to a community, but how to reach a community. Radio is important to me because it gives a community a mutual interest, a mutual goal, and a sense of a collective purpose for your area. It can also be a way for an individual to express themselves to a community, whether it is through their discussions/music on their show or what an individual chooses to vote for within a certain poll.”

    Say “Hi!” to Sadie when you see her around the station and events this summer.

  • CFMH Celebrates 15 Years On The FM Dial

    While the history of campus-based community radio in Saint John (as spottily collected as it is) dates back to 1972, the momentous occasion of CFMH’s debut as a CRTC-licensed non-profit radio station on the FM dial occurred on January 12, 2001 at its ever-present home of UNB Saint John. Pre-existing this event and over the 15 years since, countless staff and volunteer hours from numerous members have gone into creating a strong arts & culture presence over the airwaves in our fine port city.

    To help celebrate and mark this milestone, in addition to great programming and events, we have commissioned and will be sharing pieces from local artists throughout the year. As found above, we kickoff with the first of a couple pieces from Stephanie Tierney, an on-again, off-again volunteer and staff member since 2003.

    You can also find an unearthed Fall 1999 schedule here, c/o past Programming Director, Jud Crandall.

    Encompassing everyone who has contributed to the strength of community radio in Saint John over the years, from staff, volunteers, listeners, and donors alike, would be a triumphant quest in and of itself. So, we simply offer a hearty THANK YOU and cheers to another 15 years.
