Cory started his radio career volunteering at S.F.U.’s campus radio station for 6 years before heading to B.C.I.T. to study broadcasting. Cory spent 3 years at XFM in Vancouver, 9 years at CFOX FM and stints with Shore 104.3 and the Peak FM and brings a vast knowledge of the local music scene to our Station.

Still trying to find out how to listen to roundhouse 98.3 in the valley because star FM is the same frequency.
The only way, Peter, will be the audio streaming on their web-site once they are up and running. Roundhouse has a very low power signal that will be audible only in Vancouver, proper. It’s unlikely to reach the north shore or even Richmond, if their coverage maps are accurate.
Good luck to them but I still cant see this station being anything but a fringe player in the marketplace when you consider their tiny coverage area. Even hoping people tune in online does not give you access to much of an audience and even if it did the audience would probably not be measured accurately enough to monetize through advertising.
