Radio Glendon was co-managed through the 2011-2012 academic year by Sam Michaels and Alayna LaFleur. The new managers stated aims were improving the station's professionalism, reinventing the station's image and increasing community involvement. Radio Glendon moved to a new website at www.radioglendon.ca, since the old site was seldom maintained, and eventually lost, the year before. A large portion of the early work in 2011 was dedicated to bringing Radio Glendon back to its past prominence on Glendon Campus. The station's new website had a revamped layout, and included member and dj profiles and schedules. The broadcast booth was renovated, and began broadcasting through new, professional software. Work was also put into proving the station's new commitment to quality student radio programming. These efforts centered around hosting live events, and attracting new students to the radio through open houses and extensive training periods for potential djs.
The station's official launch party was held on October 21, 2011 at the Lunik Cafe in the Manor of Glendon College. The event was a major success, with live bands and DJs, interviews with show hosts, prizes, and giveaways marking some of the highlights of the evening. Radio Glendon began its official broadcast soon after, with live shows airing from November 7, 2011 until the end of the school year in early April 2012. Radio Glendon also hosted a DJ Appreciation Night and an End of Year Party at downtown Toronto locations for station members, and community fans and listeners. The End of Year Party wrapped up a successful year of broadcasts, which included interviews and live performances by local Toronto band, as well as a full schedule of shows from a wide variety of genres.
Radio Glendon was retooling through the 2012 summer, and plans to restart its broadcast in January 2013.
