Virtual Museum of French-Language Radio in Saskatchewan
Today, French-language radio in Saskatchewan seems beyond question. Yet it is the result of a long struggle waged by the province's francophones. Broadcasting arrived on the Prairies in the mid-1920s. In an overwhelmingly English environment, French-speaking homes were one of the last strongholds of the language — and now they were besieged by the airwaves of English-language stations.
Meet the leaders who realized early on how important French on the airwaves was to the flourishing of the language and culture. Discover the obstacles they faced — political, technical and economic — before French-language stations opened in Saskatchewan. Take a moment, too, to learn about the people who took over the work of this radio until the stations were sold to Radio-Canada in 1973.
