Clyde River residents seeking service and repairs
A shortage of qualified technicians has left Clyde River without radio broadcasting for nearly four months — and the hamlet office with a slew of complaints about lack of service.
“The radio’s very important,” said John Ivey, senior administrative officer for the hamlet. For many residents, the radio is a primary source of information about the world outside the community of 1,000, in addition to local events.
“There’s a lot of demand for the radio to be on air, and it is tough not having it for sure,” he said March 24. “We want to keep in touch with the news and everything else that goes on.”
