Village 900 is a non-profit campus/instructional
radio station located at Camosun
College in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.
Our mandate is threefold; to provide an alternative radio service to
the people of Victoria, to train broadcast students in co-operation
with the Applied Communication Program at Camosun College, and to produce
and air educational programming for university transfer credit.
Village 900 is operated by the non-profit CKMO Radio Society. Our music
programming is a format called Global Roots, a contemporary mix of folk,
roots and worldbeat music. We receive our funding from a number of sources
including operating grants from Camosun College, fundraising, sponsorships,
corporate underwriting, and membership fees.
On September 4th, 2000 CKMO radio blossomed into a
10,000-watt radio station at 900 on the AM dial. With the flick of a
switch, CKMO expanded its broadcast range to cover southern Vancouver
Island, the lower mainland and the northern part of Washington State
- a potential audience of 1.5 million listeners.
Since then we've created
a fresh, new voice in the community. A music policy that
reflects the multicultural nature of the community we live in and public
affairs programming that bring a global perspective to Victoria. We
call this voice...VILLAGE 900.
