But in seriousness, this is really too bad. They were probably the crown jewel (and last standing?) of the college-level radio programs.

Re: It's Official: Humber College Ending Radio Program
To be fair -
I'm in the Humber Hall of Fame.
Which by its name implies famous.
I was hoping for the Hockey Hall of Fame... so close second.
Sad to see it go. It's not a radio course thing... it's a college finance thing

Went there in 1975. After 1 year in the program Phil Stone told me don’t waste your money and time
go get a job. I spent 25 years in broadcasting . From
2000-2008 I taught there. It was a great program .
It’s a shame of where the business has gone.
Some great broadcasters came out of Radio Humber.

I attended Humber in the early 80s under the leadership of Stan Larke. It was a great training ground for a career in radio. And it was an excellent place to find friendships that I cherish to this day.

Conestoga College in Kitchener also has their two year radio program. They have a station on air with CJIQ and a new rock format.

Out in the car this morning and I briefly had CJIQ tuned in which is the radio station for Conestoga. In a commercial break they had a spot promoting their Radio program, advertising for next year.

Re: It's Official: Humber College Ending Radio Program
From Broadcast Dialogue comes this out of Humber. In my opinion, a bit of an example of weasel words that appear to say something but really reveal very little. But you decide.
Humber College says it remains ‘committed to broadcast education’
