The removal of CIXX-FM (106.9 The X) for Winter 2026 eliminates a core, advertised component of the Broadcasting – Radio and Media Production and Journalism – Broadcast programs. Licensed FM experience is essential for building industry-ready skills, including live on-air broadcasting, CRTC compliance, traffic and logging, station operations, sales, and running live remotes. These opportunities were available to previous cohorts and directly influence employability and portfolio quality.
This change reduces the educational value students are paying full tuition for and contradicts what was promised in the official program description. Action must be taken now because Winter 2026 is approaching, and students deserve transparency, fairness, and compensation before the academic term begins.
