Midtown Radio is a community-building initiative by a small group of dedicated volunteers in the Kitchener-Waterloo area. The project aims to develop and maintain a community-based, online radio station, that plays local music and podcasts, as well as small amounts of community information – with the aim of promoting local artists, creators, small businesses, and public events through the development of innovative, locally-produced content.
