Rob Hopkins
	
Rob Hopkins started his first radio station, CFET-FM, in Tagish in 1997.((Mackenzie Scott, “Yukon’s ‘Radio Bob’ hopes to add 3 virtual radio stations in the North.” //CBC News,// 3 May 2018.)) In early 2003, he saw an opportunity to start the community radio station CJUC in Whitehorse. The radio license could only be given to non-profit organizations, so he applied to the CRTC as the Utilities Consumers Group with members Rob Hopkins, Roger Rondeau, and Florence Roberts. The group lobbies for fair internet prices and power rates, and the radio station’s stated purpose was to broadcast communications and electric rate hearings. CJUC started in downtown Whitehorse at Polarcom, an internet service provider where Hopkins was employed, and the signal only reached a city block. Bill Polonsky heard CJUC in 2004, soon after he moved to Whitehorse. He had thirteen years of experience with the University of Victoria’s campus station, and he became the station manager. The station upgraded their transmitter and now can be heard everywhere in Whitehorse from their broadcast centre in the City-owned historic Chambers House in Shipyards Park. The station mainly relies on donations to operate and, in 2022, Polonsky has been the volunteer station manager for nineteen years.((Dylan MacNeil, “CJUC enters 20th year on the air.” //Yukon News// (Whitehorse), 30 December 2022.)) 
	
In 2016, Hopkins set up a repeater station in Haines Junction. He runs his stations through a program he created called Open Broadcaster. The program lets Hopkins operate in the Cloud with no brick and mortar radio station. In 2018, Hopkins applied for three more virtual radio stations in Atlin, BC, Carcross and Inuvik, NWT.((Mackenzie Scott, “Yukon’s ‘Radio Bob’ hopes to add 3 virtual radio stations in the North.” //CBC News,// 3 May 2018.))
