Edmonton Broadcasters (“Broadcasters by Letter”) looks at the careers of broadcasters who lived in the Edmonton area and worked for radio and television stations serving Edmonton, not just those on-air, but anyone with a paid Broadcast Industry position (contract or employee). That would include, for example, Sales and Engineering positions, and any other staff that generally consider themselves part of the Broadcast Industry. But would exclude volunteer and most intern positions. And stations like CKJR-AM (W-1440) Wetaskiwin, CFOK-AM (The Fox) Westlock and CFCW-FM (CAM-FM) which solely serve their local communities. Note that this differs substantially from the Club’s membership criteria.
Edmonton Broadcasters and Calgary Broadcasters are modelled after, and were initially built with material from, Vancouver Broadcasters, created by Gord Lansdell. Initially a stand-alone web site created by RadioWest.ca, a subsequent partnership with the Edmonton Broadcasters Club has created this combined web site as the first step of a coordinated effort to improve Edmonton Broadcasters and reduce overlap between it and the Club’s former web site.
