IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM THE X-TEAM Hi, it's Peter Olsen of the X-Team. As you no doubt know, many businesses have curtailed operations, in light of the quickly spreading coronavirus and people have been told to socially distance themselves. This move has affected most walks of life, including educational facilities such as TRU. As a result, the Board of CFBX has decided to curtail all "live" programming until further notice and operate the radio station on full automation. Due to this decision, our show, which airs Wednesday mornings from 7-9 am, has also been affected. It's the right thing to do, in light of the rapid spread of COVID-19. Please be safe and stay calm and the X-Team hopes to be back on the air soon.
