Alternative Radio
.Alternative Radio is a weekly one-hour public affairs program offered free to all public radio stations. Across Canada AR airs on stations from Halifax to Victoria.

Established in 1986, award-winning AR is dedicated to the founding principles of public broadcasting, which urge that programming serve as “a forum for controversy and debate,” be diverse and “provide a voice for groups that may otherwise be unheard.” The project is entirely independent, sustained solely by individuals who buy transcripts, CDs, MP3s and PDFs of programs.
