  • ComX Winter 2025

    Here at UNBSJ select COMS courses offer a voluntary COMx component, which encourages students to explore media production for course credit.
    You get to be creative for course credit!

    Local FM is one of the options available for students. This term one course is eligible for this program.

    A copy of the registration form for the station, along with some more info, is available here.
    Our program proposal, for students hosting a show as part of their internship, is here.

    Show brainstorming will be part of the training process if that option is selected!
    Don’t worry if your idea isn’t complete yet.

    For any questions please reach out to our station manager via email at manager@cfmh.ca
    Forms are due by January 31st.

    Students not eligible for ComX who still have interest in volunteering at the station are also encouraged to fill out the program proposal form at any time.

    EGM Notification + Pizza Party!

    Local-FM is hosting a pizza party to thank it’s volunteers for their continued dedication and contributions to our community. All volunteers are welcomed and invited to join us at the Whitebone Lounge on Sunday, February 11th at 12:30 PM.

    We’ll also be holding a short vote on bylaw reform. We’ve been creating an updated version of our constitution that better reflects how we operate. Feel free to take a look at the two constitutions, current and reformed, as well as the report from the bylaw review committee who developed the new constitution in response to certain issues with the current set.

    Now let’s eat some ‘Zza!
