December 1st 2009
Waterloo based campus and community radio station will remain broadcasting into
the new-year from a new studio space.
Waterloo - From locking
its doors and planning to go off air to announcing the move to a new studio it's
been a busy few weeks at 100.3 SoundFM (CKMS Radio Waterloo). Monday night saw
the announcement of a new plan to keep the station on air. In January 2010 the
32 year-old radio station will begin broadcasting from the upper level of
Maxwell's Music House at 220 King Street North.
"Multiple options were
considered to keep the station broadcasting and this one was the best for us,"
says Steve Krysak, President. "We are very excited about the opportunities that
this brings to us, and to Maxwell's."
The University of Waterloo's
campus and community radio station recently lost a referendum that would have
helped fund the station. The station was also served an eviction notice for
January 31st, with the promise that the transmitter could remain on
campus for a short time longer.
This announcement comes
after station management temporarily locked out programmers earlier in November
and announced it would be possibly going off air as of December 4th
at 6:30 pm. The revised plan still uses that date, but this time as an end to
original program and the start of automated programming until the new studios
are online in mid January 2010.
Maxwell's Music House offers
lessons, music workshops, jam spaces and has an 80 person concert hall. More

for over 30 years. More information about the station can be found at http://soundfm.ca.
