TORONTO, Ontario – Fitzroy Gordon, Founder and President of Toronto based radio station G98.7FM “The Way We Groove,” is pleased to announce that he has been granted approval from the Canadian Radio Television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to operate a national television station focused on airing programs for the Black and Caribbean population of Canada.

“For years the Black and Caribbean community in Canada has expressed the need to have easier access to media that reflects their identity, culture, values and issues. By obtaining approval to establish this television station we have taken a significant step in bringing this shared vision to life,” said Gordon.

The station which is scheduled to begin broadcasting in fall 2015, will air a wide range of local and international content, as well as originally produced programs, geared toward the entire family.

Programming will include everything from sitcoms to movies, drama series, documentaries, news, sports, talk shows, religious programs, tourism, festivals, carnivals, weather reports, cooking and music shows.

Upon launch, it will be available through various cable providers nationwide on a subscription basis.
