Through Musicville; CHRY Community Radio Inc. will enhance its central role of supporting the GTA’s diverse and underserved communities for numerous decades. From its humble beginnings as a campus radio club in the basement of Vanier College at York University in 1968 to its current broadcast status as a protected F.M. station functioning from the York University Student Centre, CHRY’s connection to the wider community through talent development and promotion has had immeasurable impacts on the local music scene in the GTA. This consistent connection has led the station to unbreakable bonds with local and now global talents. It is no doubt the reason for such stellar artist support for this year’s fundraising event. CHRY looks forward to giving Torontonians a fantastic show while they support a worthy cause.
