The radio program at Loyalist in Belleville, which I graduated from years ago, has also been suspended for similar reasons... sad times.
Although, I wonder what will become of the radio stations that are associated with these discontinued programs?

This ties in with the above story. Not only is enrollment in some journalism programs down, Canadians may also be avoiding news. More from Broadcast Dialogue and Media Technology Monitor..

Loyalist College also had a Broadcast Technical/Engineering program. It began about 10 or 11 years ago, and then wound down around 2016... Not sure if it covered RF Engineering or not...

Erin Davis graduated from Loyalist and not only laments the loss of the course, but the loss of so much opportunity for newcomers to the biz.
“Granted, if you have the talent and communications skills, you will find your place and it may not be a direct line from the classroom into a radio station…but it’s just overwhelmingly that the business has killed the farm teams, so there’s no room for little league anymore,” she told Broadcast Dialogue. “I mourn it because it gave me everything, but I understand it’s probably more responsible for them to pull back and look at what they’re putting out into an industry on life support.”

The death of real journalism will hasten society's collapse. It's coming. Little of what we're told anymore isn't a lie to promote someone's agenda, who doesn't care about anything but profiting at our expense.
