About Last Week's Orbital Disastrophe

 


Radio Regent is a not-for-profit youth media training organization that is under-staffed and has no budget anymore for the radio station. All future funding is going towards the journalism program that is connected to the video programming. The radio station has been at near closure every fiscal year.
The staff at hand is down to one part-time employee, so when things go off the rails, like during last week's Orbit when a USB-induced virus prevented our tech person from accessing the computer which had switched shows on us (Open The Correct Show, HAL - I'm sorry Dave, but I can't do that), there is no-one on site to rectify matters.
 
There is a donation button on the website for people to help support us through these difficulties.

Canadian Music On Your Mind? Come Up Into Corby's Orbit Friday.


 
























Corby's log *Stardate* 21/07/26: a catastrophic event on Friday 10 July resulted when a trainee at Radio Regent, while attempting to record his first show, mistakenly went live and effectively pre-empted the well-publicized broadcast of Corby's Orbit that had just begun. That edition of the show, "The Lost Orbit", will air this Friday, 24 July, at https://www.iheart.com/live/radio-regent-8119/ with full cast and crew. Please drop up, tune in, and boldly go - into the worlds of new Canadian music and ideas - on Radio Regent.
