I almost became a radio person - I did some work for Carleton's CKCU and Calgary's CJSR but never stayed with it. I became a newspaper person instead (which is why you're reading this here newsletter). But I can certainly understand (indeed I embrace that understanding) of the importance of participating in college radio. So I too am sad at the passing of a legend, as Village 900 radio at Camosun College is going off the air on March 4th. Clint Lalonde writes, "By virtue of being a “campus†radio station, I had the opportunity to see both radio and the media in a whole different way than when I worked at a commercial radio station. In fact, it validated for me that community radio is what radio is supposed to be, and that commercial radio (and, by extension television as well) is, for the most part, a tragic waste of a publicly owned bandwidth."
