The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) conducted a detailed pan-Canadian consultation on establishing religious radio stations in 1992. Radio-Galilée FM 90.9 decided to grant this type of permit to Radio Galilée on June 3, 1993, after concluding that it was in the public interest. The day of Radio Galilée’s birth was September 19, 1995. Since then, its programming has developed along with the almost 1.3 million people who may potentially access it, spread across metropolitan Quebec, Beauce, Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean, and now the entire world owing to the Internet.
Programming of Radio-Galilée FM 90.9
Radio Galilée carefully selects the programming it airs to promote human and spiritual values. Its programming focuses on respect, cooperation, tolerance, solidarity, and integrity. This radio’s gentle tone, language, and how it welcomes visitors reveal the essential principles of the beautiful, the excellent, and the good.
Eloquent comments have been made on CION FM‘s musical taste. The wide range of musical repertoire includes Quebec and French songs, draws its rhythm from great classical and baroque music, occasionally pauses in the Gregorian heritage, and plays, in harmony, its contemporary touch.
Several programs allow audience participation. Each interlocutor’s words and observations are respected, and they are encouraged. Call-in talk shows are also quite popular and provide listeners with “training places” and growth opportunities. Additionally, we have several programs that are run by volunteer teams, each giving the programming a unique character.
Through a partnership with Vatican Radio, FM may access the Vatican Radio Magazine and transmit two foreign news bulletins daily. The treatment and analysis of the group of French-speaking Vatican Radio journalists and reporters from throughout the globe provide an unmatched showcase of the current radio scene. Therefore, the station also covers community-related local, regional, and national news. The public particularly appreciates Vatican Radio and its programs since they cover all real issues in an intelligent and timely manner.
Some famous radio shows are
I am the Immaculate Conception, From one end of the world to the other, Baroque harmony, ageless music, The morning star, Man and woman he created them, News from Vatican Radio, Keep His Word, Communic-actions, From one thing to another, Music and world, The 11th hour, Arpeggios from us, Angelus.
