Um rádio sub-12 no Canadá

«(...) Radio, on the other hand, has little dedicated specifically to children's programming. That changes when Edmonton-based KidRadio.ca goes live at 6 a.m. Monday. Like any regular radio station, KidRadio features 24/7 programming that includes music, a morning show, commercials, and eventually, specialty and educational programming. What sets KidRadio apart is that it caters to children 12 and under - and don't bother trying to find it on your radio dial. (...) Preston said launching the station online, as opposed to traditional radio airwaves, was simply logical. "To start a terrestrial radio station you need a substantial amount of money, and for the Internet you don't, and there are also the concerns of CRTC regulations," he said. While Canadian radio broadcasters must meet federally mandated Canadian content programming requirements to keep their licences, web-based broadcasters are not limited by such rules. Unlike satellite radio, which boasts a wide variety of youth channels, KidRadio is aimed at an Edmonton audience. Morning show Breakfast Toonz, hosted by local teens DJ and Kaity, includes weather and traffic updates (for the parents). Preston said KidRadio has also been working with the Edmonton Public School Board to provide educational content, which will eventually be slotted into programming. There are also plans to add kid-targeted cooking, health and fitness shows.» (fonte: «Edmonton-based web radio for kids launches»Jennifer Fong, Edmonton Journal, September 16 2007
