Re: “Campus radio crunch” Nov. 19, 2009

To the editor:

Thanks for covering the funding crisis of SoundFM — aka CKMS — at Waterloo.

To put into context some of what we said in your article, the National Campus and Community Radio Association has just released information about the different realities — some brighter than others — in student support for campus radio across Canada.

While the Waterloo referendum results are indeed sad news, and the team at SoundFM has an uphill road ahead, it does not represent an overall decline in support for student radio. You can see our full press release at  www.ncra.ca
