 SAVE DAWG FM
Canada’s first ALL BLUES radio station is in Jeopardy!!
We need your Help!
On November 21 the Government Cabinet sent our licence back to the CRTC for reconsideration and hearing. The Government decided that the decision derogated from the Broadcast Act.
The decision was appealed by a group that was applying for a French-language community station at the same hearing. The CRTC decided that our application was more in the public's best interest than was their application.
Now .png) the government has stepped in.
DEROGATE!!!!! we only committed to exposing hundreds of Canadian Blues Artists that get airplay in the U.S. but not in Canada.
We committed to give 3 quarters of a million dollars to Canadian Content Development including creating a Blues music series at Canadian Music Week, supporting the Ottawa Blues Society and the Blues in Schools programs that gives kids that can't afford instruments a chance to play music.
Not to mention we were going to employ 20 people in Ottawa and spend over 1 million dollars in our first year of operations in the local economy.
We committed to play 40% Canadian content 5% more than any other station in Ottawa currently plays.
But it's easy to target the only stand alone independent radio station in Ottawa.
So we need your help. We need your support, we need the support of your friends and anyone else that loves Blues music please click on button below and write a letter or send this form letter to the following persons
