Vancouver, BC: CITR 101.9 FM Worldwide Internet Stream: wetlandproject.com/stream |
| Since Earth Day 2019 the news continues bleak: fires, floods, extinction, pandemic! Itâs important to keep informed but at times the chatter is completely overwhelming. Itâs time to pause. Itâs time to reflect on whatâs at stake. Multidisciplinary artists Brady Marks and Mark Timmings invite you to tune into the Earth by taking part in the annual Wetland Project Slow Radio Broadcast.
Connect to the 24-hour circadian rhythm of the endangered ᚎEḴTEḴSEN marsh located in the traditional and unceded territories of the WĚąSĂNEÄ First Nations (Saturna Island, British Columbia). The beautiful and complex environmental soundscape, featuring birds, frogs, airplanes and more, engages with you in real time throughout the day. The immersive quality of the slow radio broadcast promotes heightened awareness of the natural environment, which turns the simple act of listening to the radio into a powerful act of collective protest for climate action. âI love this!â ⌠âan auditory gemâ âŚâŹ âabsolutely amazing radioâ ⌠âSuch a lovely counterpoint to the usual keystone cops media!â ⌠âso very enliveningâ âWhat is it that makes this so calming and inspiring?â ⌠âBeen some time since Iâve come across something that has captivated me in the way this hasâ ⌠âleft me with a nice feeling all dayâ ⌠âbest radio I have heard in a long timeâ ⌠âlistened all day and loved it allâ ⌠âSuch a lovely gift.

Dear, Listeners,
CJMP90.1FM is still on the air!!!
However, the Powell River Community Radio Society (PRCRS) has determined that in the best interest of its volunteers and the community the station will no longer be open to all volunteers and, therefore, live programming at the station will no longer take place. This is a temporary measure during this crisis.
We have loads of great programming so make sure you continue to listen in at 90.1 on the FM dial or online at cjmp.ca/listen where you can find our program schedule. We are offering remote broadcast to our programmers and if they can create shows at home we will load them into their time slots. Stay tuned to see how creative this group of programmers can get!
LOCAL BUSINESS SPONSORSHIP
All local business sponsor promos are still playing has promised – nothing has changed. We thank you for your continued support in keeping the lights on and the signal lit. We can still create sponsor promos as needed. Find out more about sponsoring CJMP90.1FM at cjmp.ca/sponsor. Now, more than ever, we need your support.
