HELP SUPPORT COMMUNITY RADIO IN SELKIRK!
BIG FM (Interlake Broadcast Group) is a not-for-profit organization. The funds the station generates through advertising, donations, sponsorship, and other charitable sources allow the station to provide community broadcasting of amateur hockey and other local community events without incurring any debt. Your continued support of this project is very much appreciated!

GOOD NEWS - BIG FM WILL BEGIN LIVE BROADCASTING "24/7" THIS MONTH ... THE TESTING IS ON NOW - KEEP CHECKING BACK TO BIG FM dot CA FOR BROADCAST START DATES!

YOU'LL HAVE A SAY ...

Community radio depends on the members in the community in regards to programming offered.

It's a chance for local radio to have importance in the community again.

FINALLY, SELKIRK WILL HAVE A RADIO STATION TO CALL OUR OWN!

Our Goal

From the beginning, we've wanted this to be beneficial to the people of Selkirk. Community radio is just that ... community! Much of the content heard will come from members of the community ... members of Selkirk's Communty Radio Station.

News, Sports, Weather and Entertainment will key on Selkirk as its priority.

Selkirk Steelers and Selkirk Fisherman Junior Hockey teams will find a home on local radio, along with our fantastic high school teams and athletes.

Get ready, it's gonna be exciting!

In the early stages a group was formed to research the possibility of returning local radio to the City of Selkirk; one of the few cities its size in Canada, not to have its own radio station.

Headed by Ray Walker, a long time Manitoba broadcaster ... Interlake Broadcast Group has a passion and desire to deliver local, informative, and entertaining radio to a region that is NOT serviced at present.

Unfortunately, Winnipeg radio stations can not cater to the local market as a community radio station could.

IT'S TIME THAT SELKIRK HAD A RADIO STATION TO CALL OUR OWN!

On-Air Launch - July 2008
