About Us

CiTR 101.9 FM is the broadcasting voice of the University of British Columbia, situated on the unceded, traditional Coast Salish territory of the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ speaking xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) people. CiTR began as a student club in 1937, gaining not-for-profit status and a place on the FM dial in 1982. Run by the Student Radio Society of UBC, CiTR offers students and community members broadcast training and access to the airwaves, broadcasting 100+ locally-focused radio programs in seven different languages, streamed online, and available as podcasts. Since 1983, CiTR has published Discorder Magazine, mirroring CiTR's mandate to amplify underrepresented communities and to provide publishing experience to people with minimal experience. Discorder is a bi-monthly arts & culture magazine. Though initially founded as a music-focused magazine, Discorder now covers a range of content related to the local arts scene, community organizing, current affairs and much more!

Empower UBC students and community members through training and participation in the media 3. Provide community access to media and space for under-represented voices
