Earlier in the year there was some discussion in this space about community radio on Prince Edward Island. Some people went off and discussed the idea further in a Yahoo! discussion group. My sense from all of this is that there might be enough community energy and community skills to create some sort of community radio enterprise here on the Island.

To this end, a small group of us have decided to jump in and plan a meeting of interested people. Scheduled for Tuesday, October 29 at 7:30 p.m., the meeting will take place in the Board Room at CBC Prince Edward Island.

We intend the meeting to be an exploratory session — a way to gauge just what interests and skills and passions could be assembled, and into what. Watch this space for more details; in the meantime, please spread the word that anyone, young or old, experienced in radio or not, is welcome to attend and contribute to the meeting.
