Cause

Vancouver Co-operative Radio, CFRO, 100.5FM, www.coopradio.org is an innovative non-profit community radio station & podcast recording studio providing a voice for those underrepresented in mainstream media.

Each week, Co-op Radio provides access to community space, training and equipment for 300+ volunteers who produce 140 hours of original programming, in over 10 languages. We are a mosaic of 90 unique radio show collectives, supported in partnership by some of the most respected non-profit organizations in the province. Our radio station is a jewel in the heart of the city, and since 1975 we have celebrated Metro Vancouver’s rich cultural diversity through our programming.

Co-op Radio’s volunteers provide programming 24 hours a day in the areas of arts, public affairs, music and in third languages. We strive to provide programming that does not discriminate against people on the grounds of sex, race, age, class, ability, sexual orientation, or anything else. Our first priority is to provide a media outlet for the economically, socially or politically disadvantaged.

We provide news and perspectives that are not otherwise accessible – information that is not covered by the conventional media or perspectives that challenge mainstream media coverage.

In music, our primary emphasis is on promoting exposure to locally-produced and performed music. We also focus on broadcasting music that is both entertaining and rarely heard elsewhere. Our music programmers put the music they play in context by providing information both about the performers and the genre. They are passionate about what they choose to play!
