About TRENT RADIO

Established and operated by the students of Trent University, Trent Radio is designed with the production of exceptional radio in mind. Trent Radio's programmers are by definition amateurs - that is, they do radio for the love of it. Trent Radio is an organisation where people are learning and creating together. Its aims and objectives include producer-oriented programming and broad community participation for the production of creative local radio which reflects and animates Peterborough area communities, and sends out a clear signal of Peterborough's vigour and vibrancy to the world beyond.

Our Mission

Trent Radio's aims as a broadcaster;

- to Maximise diversity of programming.

- to Inspire creative contributions to radio programming.

- to Encourage and inspire a positive use of radio.

- to Encourage access to the facilities by both the Trent and Peterborough area communities.

- to Encourage the production of programming which reflects these communities.

- to Encourage co-operation, interaction, communication and understanding within and between these communities

The two other main forms of radio in Canada are public radio and commercial radio. Public radio is represented by the CBC, which exists to promote "high" culture and a national identity. Commercial radio exists to create an audience to be sold to advertisers.
