Student Centre: Multicultural Programming and Alternative Format

student centre: The switch is a huge loss for the city, according to NOW Magazine. CHRY's slogan was Your leading source for diversity, and you could hear shows in French, Tamil, Italian, Tagalog, Twi, Hebrew and many other languages. On Friday, May 1, CHRY 105.5 FM, located in York University's Student Centre, converted to an urban alternative format called VIBE105 FM that will broadcast a mix of electronic, Caribbean, Afrobeat, hip-hop and R&B music in addition to talk programming. There was also a decided focus on queer, social justice and multicultural programming. The station had been working on improving broadcast quality and on its branding, but this totally came out of nowhere. We were informed last night and this morning that all volunteers were no longer needed, Mathieu Pression, host of the French-language punk show Sous Pression, told NOW. We didn't have any warning.
