What type of radio show can I do?​
CHMR is an open format radio station, meaning that just about anything goes. It is our mandate, however, to promote new, and lesser known artists to the community, and to provide programming that is unique in comparison to what other stations in St. John's broadcast. As such, we are not accepting any more programs which feature Top 40 hits (defined as a hit on Billboard's Hot 100, or Billboard's Canadian Hot 100). We are mostly interested in people who want to produce programs that are a little off the beaten path - programs that feature Spoken Word, Jazz, Blues, Classical, World, and "New" Independent Rock are all of great interest to us.
​
Does it cost anything to join CHMR?​
MUN Undergraduate students pay what's called a Media Levy when they pay their tuition. As such, involvement at CHMR for undergrads is free. Students who do not pay undergraduate fees to MUNSU (e.g. Grad students, students of the College of the North Atlantic, Marine Institute students, etc.) and non-students are required to pay a one-time training fee of $20, followed by an annual membership fee of $20 which is due when they begin on the air.
