Open House, January 7, 12-4pm
CFRC 101.9FM opened its doors on Thursday, January 7, 2010 from 12-4pm to celebrate 50 years of broadcasting from Lower Carruthers Hall at Queen’s University. 2010 marks the 88th year of radio broadcasting at CFRC, which began as an experimental station in 1922. Originally housed in Fleming hall, CFRC moved down the lane to Lower Carruthers Hall in late 1959. Opening ceremonies for the new facilities were held on January 7, 1960. The Open House, organized on the 50th anniversary of this event, was attended by many listeners and journalists from local media. Check out the story in the Kingston Whig-Standard here, or read what the Kingstonist had to say. Thanks to all who came through the snow for a taste of our history!

Queen’s Graduate Student Documentaries
This Friday, Dec 11 @ 5pm, CFRC will air the third instalment of a special 6-part series entitled, Graduate Student Documentaries. For 6 weeks, during this timeslot, you will hear graduate students stepping outside of the normal confines of academic publications & conference presentations and distilling the essence of their research into audio documentaries complete with interviews, discussion, personal tales, creative audio production, and of course, academic discourse. This project was possible with funding from the Queen’s Office of the Principal, Dean of Student Affairs, SGPS, and the Queen’s Dept. of Graduate Studies. For this week’s episode, we present:
“The True Nature of the Universe“ James Silvester (PhD 2010, Astrophysics), will present a thought provoking discussion with Astronomers at both Queen’s University and The Royal Military College on the true nature of the universe, the existence of dark matter and our place in the universe.
