Information Radio is a system of generally low-power radio stations providing tourist and other general information in locations across Canada. The majority of the stations are owned by Instant Information Services Inc., a Halifax-based company jointly owned by broadcaster Jack McGaw and Robert Stapells; the Halifax and Confederation Bridge stations appear to be solely owned by McGaw. The stations are run by General Manager Tim Hern who also does a majority of the broadcasting.
Famous quotes containing the words information and/or radio:
“Phenomenal nature shadows him wherever he goes. Clouds in the staring sky transmit to one another, by means of slow signs, incredibly detailed information regarding him. His inmost thoughts are discussed at nightfall, in manual alphabet, by darkly gesticulating trees. Pebbles or stains or sunflecks form patterns representing in some awful way messages which he must intercept. Everything is a cipher and of everything he is the theme.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“Having a thirteen-year-old in the family is like having a general-admission ticket to the movies, radio and TV. You get to understand that the glittering new arts of our civilization are directed to the teen-agers, and by their suffrage they stand or fall.”
—Max Lerner (b. 1902)
