Revision as of 23:20, 2 February 2006 by 137.82.74.37 (talk)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)CITR (Canadian Independent Thunderbird Radio) is a Canadian FM radio station based out of the University of British Columbia's Student Union Building in Vancouver, British Columbia. Operated by UBC students and community volunteers, its programming is quite varied in an attempt to cover alternative genres outside of mainstream radio. Broadcasting at FM 101.9, its signal encompasses most of the Vancouver Metropolitan Area.
The radio station also publishes a monthly magazine, DiSCORDER, dedicated to covering local and independent music and arts in Vancouver.
DiSCORDER was created in 1980 as the program guide for CiTR and has since expanded to become a media institution in its own right. Discorder runs music reviews, book reviews, interviews, essay-length articles, comics, a craft column, a mix-tape, the program guide, and CiTR's charts.
DiSCORDER prints 10,500 copies each month and distributes then in coffeeshops, bookstores, and music stores across the cities of Vancouver and Victoria.
SHiNDiG is a battle of the bands competition run by CiTR yearly from September to December. It is believed to be the longest running and most famous of such contests in British Columbia. Past contestants included bands such as 3 Inches of Blood, The Organ, and The Salteens.
