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:
“We hear a great deal of lamentation these days about writers having all taken themselves to the colleges and universities where they live decorously instead of going out and getting firsthand information about life. The fact is that anybody who has survived his childhood has enough information about life to last him the rest of his days.”
—Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)
“Denouement to denouement, he took a personal pride in the
certain, certain way he lived his own, private life,
but nevertheless, they shut off his gas; nevertheless,
the bank foreclosed; nevertheless, the landlord called;
nevertheless, the radio broke,
And twelve o’clock arrived just once too often,”
—Kenneth Fearing (1902–1961)
