BRANDON, Man., (Sept. 5, 2019)—Radio CJ106 will provide live updates of the two Brandon constituency races on provincial election night next week on Tuesday, September 10, 2019. Coverage starts at 7 p.m. and continues until we know the outcome of both Brandon races and who will become the next premier of Manitoba. Two provincial ridings are up for grabs in The Wheat City: Brandon East and Brandon West. Both ridings are currently held by incumbents from the provincial Progressive Conservative Party. However, some believe at least one riding could pass into the hands of an opposition party. CJ106 is located at Assiniboine Community College’s Victoria East campus. A team of journalism students from the college’s Interactive Media Arts program will do updates every 30 minutes throughout the evening. CJ-106 can be found at 106.5 on the FM dial, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Since 2003, the campus-community radio station has offered local listeners programming that is truly unique. Students and community volunteers broadcast from the college’s modern studio facility, complete with production booth and interview studio. In addition to sports, call-in shows, documentaries, and local multi-cultural shows; alternative rock, heavy metal, punk, Christian, and world music can all be found on the airwaves of CJ-106. It’s a radio station that represents the diversity and excitement. (article submitted)
