CJNY 106.3 FM hit play on Friday March 3 when it launched at Hoobiyee Ts’aamiks Vancouver with a ceremony. Serving Coast Salish and First Nations in B.C., the Vancouver classic rock will feature Indigenous artists, and plans to host several cultural shows.
CJNY 106.3 will be a platform for cultural information, community information and messaging, local events, talents, and artist. The station will also have local and regional news, weather, and road reports. Ron Bartlett is from Kitsumkalum First Nation of the Tsimshian Nation’s house of Legath. As the CJNY and CFNR general sales manager, Barlett is part of a team of 18 people connected to their Indigenous communities. They take pride in and have built trust in communities by prioritizing proper pronunciation, and being aware of the cultural significance, he said.
“We've actually been quite instrumental in breaking down cultural barriers,” said Bartlett. “The music is so popular amongst non-First Nations community, that they listen for the music, but they get a big dose of our culture.”
