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:
“Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information upon it.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
“England has the most sordid literary scene I’ve ever seen. They all meet in the same pub. This guy’s writing a foreword for this person. They all have to give radio programs, they have to do all this just in order to scrape by. They’re all scratching each other’s backs.”
—William Burroughs (b. 1914)
