N.B. French radio station in the works
SAINT JOHN, N.B. – A French radio station that Saint John francophones could call their own is $31,000 closer to becoming a reality.
The local francophone community association recently received funding from Heritage Canada, a branch of the Canadian federal government.
The grant will help with market studies to help identify what Saint John area francophones want out of a French community radio station.
The money will also help the association figure out what its technical needs are for such a station.
The Radio Saint-Jean project recently celebrated its official launch at an uptown bar, attracting 100 people to the event.
