Street Radio
(Montreal Mirror Feb, 18th)

Radio producers of CKUT’s eighth annual Homelessness Marathon will again brave the cold weather this Tuesday, Feb. 23 as they gear up for 14 hours of live radio from the street corner at the Native Friendship Centre (2001 St-Laurent). Starting at sunset and ending at sunrise on Wednesday, CKUT 90.3 FM will share hosting duties with campus radio stations in Halifax, Vancouver and Thunder Bay.

Re-broadcast on over 30 other stations, the marathon aims to create an exchange among homeless communities around the world as well as facilitate discussions about homelessness and gender, First Nations, HIV, mental health issues and more. This year, hour seven at 11 p.m. EST is live from the streets of Vancouver to talk about the displacement of the homeless during the Olympics.

“It’s the one opportunity that we have to view this in a live talk show format,” says Gretchen King, Marathon and CKUT news co-ordinator. “We actually get to talk amongst ourselves—the communities that are listening, the poor and homeless people, and people calling in on the toll-free line—we all get to have that conversation and talk about housing as a human right but we also get to talk about possible solutions.”
