CiTR 101.9 FM is the broadcasting voice of the University of British Columbia, beginning as a student club in 1938, and gaining not-for-profit status and a place on the FM dial in 1982. CiTR offers students and community members a variety of services which include broadcast and multimedia training, promotional support, live on location coverage of events and much more. Since 1983 CiTR has also published Discorder Magazine, providing unparalleled monthly coverage of Vancouver’s music community, arts scene and local current affairs while providing a space for students and community members to be trained in written journalism, photography, illustration and other aspects of publishing.

As broadcasting and publishing continue to navigate between the more traditional formats of terrestrial radio and print publishing, and the sharing of content through use of the website, podcast platforms and prominent social media channels such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, etc. — it is increasingly important for us to focus on sharing our content online, so that we better serve our communities.
