It's one of the staples of modern day broadcasting - a website for your station, where you can list your. programming, highlight your personalities, list your schedule and put up your podcasts. It's been well over a month since Whiteoaks took over CKTB from Bell, and the station still does not have an actual website. All I can find is this page, that tells you nothing about when "soon" ends.
It baffles me how they could have known the big change was coming and not have this ready by now. What could possibly be taking them so long?

Because they're in SO FAR over their heads.
Even on that temporary site, the social links are useless: The FB and IG accounts can't be seen in Canada, and the Twitter/X account hasn't been updated in 3 years.

It's kind of surprising. I remember when my TV station was just getting into websites and was setting up its own news page. They hired a firm to make it look like the News Director wanted, showed him a few proofs and they were sent away to get it done.
Less than a week later, it was finished, a few tweaks were applied, and it was online within a few days after that.
The whole thing took less than two weeks and after a soft launch test, we were up and running.
I cannot understand in this day and age when you can almost prefab a site, they still don't have one.

It's not just CKTB...all the stations that Whiteoaks recently took over from Bell still don't have websites. All look the same as the CKTB "site" right now. Coming soon....

In this day and age this is lame. Even my convenience store has a website! (Okay, I’m stretching it a bit). People usually check out a company’s website especially when it is a new venture in their community, and some companies can even monetize their sites to some extent, so go figure! They really just need a template for all the Whiteoaks stations and fill in the specifics, Wordpress would work.

Whiteoaks' CJYE, the religious formatted station at 1250 AM, has its own site. So the infrastructure is there. You have to wonder if the building blocks are in place, what's taking so long.
