\"CBQM\"<\/a>Many thanks to SWLing Post<\/em> contributor, Ted Ostrowski, who writes:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hey Thomas<\/p>\n

Thought your SWListeners might enjoy this bit of Canadiana. It’s a bit dated and cheesy, but radio buffs may enjoy it. I did.<\/p>\n

This feature-length documentary pays tribute to CBQM, the radio station that operates out of Fort McPherson, a small town about 150 km north of the Arctic Circle in the Canadian Northwest Territories. Through storytelling and old-time country music, filmmaker and long-time listener Dennis Allen crafts a nuanced portrait of the “Moccasin Telegraph,” the radio station that is a pillar of local identity and pride in this lively northern Teetl’it Gwich’in community of 800 souls.<\/strong><\/p>\n
