January 19: 12 noon: So far today our programming has included a focus on the National Aboriginal
Women's Network with Bonnie Rotchford and Janet Bennett. Danielle
and Peggy also interviewed Ivan White and Jackie Snook on Captive Expressions.

Ivan and Calvin discussed local Mi'Kmaq history
while Jackie interviewed Carolyn Sheppard of Grandmother Drum.

January 18: 2 pm: We have started webcasting from Flat Bay
with recorded music until our FM broadcast begins at 10 am on Thursday.

It should be stressed that we are webcasting
from a rural area - we try to ensure that even dial up
listeners are supported so we use a highly compressed
mono audio stream.

Think of the webcast as a rural pub.
There is limited room inside (our bandwidth)
so you may have to wait until somebody
leaves before you can get in.
