Radio Lillooet

Jan.18, 2021 update: Thank you for your patience! We are back on the air now. For the next few days, some regularly scheduled programming may not be available. We hope to resume all regular programming by the end of the week. Thanks again.

COVID-19/CORONAVIRUS COVERAGE ON RADIO LILLOOET

     During the current worldwide COVID-19 epidemic, CHLS-FM will broadcast information bulletins from the District of Lillooet and its Emergency Operations Center. At present (21 Mar. 2020) these pre-recorded bulletins can be heard twice a day, at 9 AM and 4 PM. They will also be heard randomly in our music playlists. We realize it may be tedious to hear these bulletins repeatedly when listening to Radio Lillooet, but we think it is worth the price of a bit of tedium to make sure that the necessary information is available. The hours of the bulletins may change in the coming days. This will be noted on this website and announced on air.

     We will not be reporting "outside" news about the epidemic because we do not have the resources and that information is widely available from a variety of sources. We do NOT broadcast rumours or speculation.

     We offer our best wishes to you - the listener - your family and other loved ones and the whole community.

Thank You.
