During this week, Radio Bell Island operated on 100.1 FM. Radio Bell Island 100.1 FM was a partnership between the Town of Wabana, St. Michael's Regional High School, and the Rural Secretariat.[1]
Radio Bell Island was approved for another one-week broadcasting license from March 19 to March 24, 2012, once again on 100.1 FM, and organized through partnership from the Town of Wabana, St. Michael's Regional High, and the Rural Secretariat.[2] During the one-week broadcast of March 19 to 24, 2012, Peter Mansbridge, Chief Correspondent for CBC News and the anchor of The National, was interviewed on Radio Bell Island 100.1 FM by Donovan Taplin, local broadcaster and former Wabana municipal councillor.[3]
