Getting on my soap box...



HELP SUPPORT A NEW LEDUC RADIO STATION!

Okay, so it's not a 'craft' per sey, but I'm using my 'circle of influence' to get the word out on a project that I've been working on for 18 months! My boss - Mark Tamagi has put in an application to the CRTC to apply for a broadcasting license for am FM radio station for the city of Leduc and Leduc County. The application has been approved, however the frequency that we've asked for (102.3FM) has been requested by someone in Edmonton trying to start ANOTHER Edmonton station. We want, we NEED that one since it's the only frequency to reach all of Leduc County. And it would be pointless to have a Leduc County station that does not represent everyone in the County. SO... We're asking everyone who wishes to show their support for local radio to sign a petition, or write a letter of support. Our goal is to have so many letters of support to show the CRTC that this is a desired service. We would like 1000 letters of support and 5000 signatures on the petition by April 28. View the application at Minuteman Press at Leduc, or go to the CRTC website at www.crtc.gc.ca If you would like to offer your support, send me an email saying you support CRTC application # 2007-0994-1 for an FM Radio station. Email them to me at smitygirl~at~hotmail.com with your name, address and phone number. Please know your information will be used in strictest confidence. Thanks for all your help! It's exciting to be a part of something so groundbreaking! And the most exciting part is yet to come... I'll keep all of you posted on details as they emerge!
