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.
