With a considerable population of Irish descent as well as a large proportion of people originally from Newfoundland, Radio Richmond has integrated 2 shows for these niche populations that are hosted in English. We’ve also succeeded in obtaining funding to produce shows by and for the seniors in the area. Radio Richmond has also given a block of programming to schools so that they can share information and music that is of interest to school-aged individuals.
Radio Richmond is proud of it’s hosts’ abilities to host shows in the french language known as ‘La langue de Molière’ as well as in the local french dialect. To further educate their audience, Radio Richmond hosts will introduce french words that are never or seldom used locally by introducing the English word, the ‘Molière’ French word and the local dialect word if there exists one. Our shows touch on subjects that are pertinent to the local communities, with a focus on those that touch the acadian population of the area.
