The problem? CBC Radio is off the air.
The solution? Hitting refresh on a laptop that streams the radio signal off the internet and into the community s rebroadcaster. I started doing it and now there is an expectation in the community that I have to do it, Mabberi-Mudonyi said with a laugh. Sometimes I come in at four in the morning.
Officials in the N.W.T. say that though they are on track to get people their second doses of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine, some people can expect to have theirs rescheduled.
