Many
programs have been on the air for decades. Others are more recent. With few
exceptions, they are produced and hosted by unpaid (and unrecognized) broadcasters
who pump out their programs week after week as a “labour of love” on behalf of
the community.
In
decades past, Ukrainian Canadian radio programs had limited distribution, for a
variety of reasons. Some smaller stations had low-power transmission towers
with weak signals. Since most programs were (and still are) produced and hosted
by volunteers or self-funded individuals, there have been few resources to
promote the programs. Commercial stations, whether mainstream or multicultural,
private or public, generally did not (and still don’t) perceive Ukrainian
programs as able to generate sufficient revenues to justify the expense of
promoting them.
Today,
however, listeners can tune in to radio stations around the world on computers
and mobile devices, to any program they want broadcasting from anywhere in the
world.
They
can listen to the live streams of Ukrainian shows on stations that stream
online. They can download apps to listen on their smart phones. And they can
download podcasts to listen at their leisure on the device of their choice.
Listeners
looking for “something different” from the mainstream are increasingly finding
our programs online. Those who do are discovering the joy of Ukrainian music
and folklore, and learning about Ukraine
