After two years of our experiment in determining the need for a radio station in Burlington, we've decided to conclude our 'concept' of what a community station would look and sound like. The results indicate that the need for more media in our community is overwhelmingly in favour. The next steps towards realizing that venture will require the financial capital and human resources that we do not have. Our best wishes to those who may want to see this through. Thanks for listening.
