Broadcast Dialogue – The Podcast: Community Radio Fund of Canada Executive Director Alex Freedman

$20 million dollars. That’s how much in annual funding the Community Radio Fund of Canada (CRFC) is lobbying for, making the case that in the wake of so much misinformation and under-resourced commercial stations, there’s never been a better time to prop up the community radio sector.

Executive Director Alex Freedman joins this episode of Broadcast Dialogue – The Podcast to talk about the surge in interest in community radio licences, how the sector is meeting a need in news deserts, and the importance of community connection.
