Talk:CIXX-FM

March 7 edit

To the anon user who edited this article to claim that CIXX is the only student radio station in Canada: like hell. It's not even the only one in London, for gawd's sake. Does CHRW ring a bell? How about National Campus and Community Radio Association, which wouldn't exist if there were only one station to be a member? Bearcat 19:05, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

It might have been the first (thereby at some point the only) with a campus-instructional license (rather than campus-community; campus-instructional, by my memory, permitting less diverse and more hit music). But... yeah. Perhaps (if there's remotely something to the person's edits) it's the only one without a non-student paid duty management? Or something else in the governance? But... yeah.

CIXX-FM was the first in Canada licensed as a "campus instructional" radio station, according to the Canadian Communications Foundation's broadcast history website of Canada. GBC (talk) 22:04, 18 September 2024 (UTC)

first broadcast

The station hit the air on October 31, 1978, and included playing a recording of the original October 30, 1938 program, "War of the Worlds" on CBS. Afterward, what resembled ordinary DJ-type programming began, but it was a lead-up to their own version, reporting on a "Martian" invasion of Earth as it affected London in particular. They did not carry the drama as far as Orson Welles did. GBC (talk) 23:05, 10 February 2019 (UTC)
