After a static-filled morning on the CFCR airwaves, we've fixed the problem and are back broadcasting in our full glory! Big thanks to the great folks at Pippin Technical, who were on the scene shortly after the problem was discovered and were able to fix things very quickly. Thanks once again to all you loyal listeners for your patience. Blame it on the (non) end of the world!

Thanks for your patience!
