Broadcast Dialogue – The Podcast: Keeping the Black Voice on Radio in Canada

With Toronto’s G98.7 (CKFG-FM) now in receivership and the licence up for grabs, a group of Black voices from Canadian radio, the music industry, and others are appealing to the CRTC to keep the station Black-owned.

On this episode of Broadcast Dialogue – The Podcast, we’re joined by Aubrey Clarke, Nova Nicole, Ian Andre Espinet and Alicia West to talk about Keeping the Black Voice on Canadian Radio.

You can find a link to the petition to keep 98.7 Black-owned, here.
