CITR-FM, normally branded CiTR (with a lower-case "i"), is a Canadian FM radio station based out of the University of British Columbia's Student Union Building in the University Endowment Lands, just west of the city limits of Vancouver, British Columbia. Its transmitter is also located on campus. CiTR is operated by UBC students and community volunteers under the ownership of the Student Radio Society of the University of British Columbia, an entity closely affiliated with UBC's Alma Mater Society. The station's mandate is to provide programming that is alternative to the genres played on mainstream radio. Broadcasting at FM 101.9, its signal encompasses most of the Vancouver Metropolitan Area. Notable or long-running programmers include Nardwuar the Human Serviette, Steve Edge, Gavin Walker of the Jazz Show, Kliph Nesteroff, "Long" John Tanner, DJ Ebony, DJ Avi Shack, Val Cormier, Luke Meat, Chris-a-riffic, Ska-T, Zena Sharman, Tod Maffin, Bryce Dunn, Jonathon Brown, Spike Chilton of the Northern Wish and the Canadian Way, Bleek Swinney of Exquisite Corpse and Breakfast With The Browns, Pyra Draculea of the Vampire's Ball, Marie Benard of Synchronicity, Caroline of Sexy In VanCity, and many others. CiTR was created in 1937, when the Alma Mater Society of UBC started weekly half-hour radio broadcasts on a local radio station (directed by a new club, the Radio Society). The Radio Society later began broadcasting as CYVR (and became CiTR in 1974). They began broadcasting off-campus on cable in 1975 and on FM in 1982. CiTR launched a podcast service in September 2006, allowing listeners to access past shows online. The station also publishes a monthly magazine, ''Discorder'', which focuses on local and independent music and arts in Vancouver. CITR is a member of the National Campus and Community Radio Association, and hosted the National Campus and Community Radio Conference in 1984 and again in 2007. The NCRC is an annual national gathering of community-oriented radio broadcasters who provide alternative radio to a diverse audience. It has been offered every summer since 1981, and it is one of the core activities of the NCRA/ANREC. ==Discorder magazine== ''Discorder'' was created in February 1983 by founding editors Jennifer Fahrni and Mike Mines as an alternative music magazine for Vancouver and the program guide for CiTR. With a circulation of 25,000, the first issue included an interview with Stan Ridgeway of Wall of Voodoo by Mark Mushet; article ''Youth Culture in West Berlin'' by Werner Janke; reviews of albums by The Scissors, Los Popularos, and Modernettes by Gord Badanic, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Wall of Voodoo, and Mission of Burma by Dave McDonagh, DOA by Dean Pelkey; and a review of the compilation tape ''Egghead'' by Brent Argo. The magazine has since expanded to become a media institution in its own right, running music reviews, book reviews, interviews, essay-length articles, comics, a mixtape, the program guide, and CiTR's charts. Discorder also serves as a launching pad for aspiring music writers. Many writers have gone on to work for other publications, including Michael LaPointe who is now the book editor at The Tyee; Brock Thiessen, who is the news editor at Exclaim!; and Alex Hudson, who writes for Guttersnipe and BeatRoute. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「CITR-FM」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
