Fanshawe College and WeRise, a London-based community initiative administered through the not-for-profit arm of Yaya's Food Inc., have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to explore the future of the College's broadcasting licence.
The non-binding agreement establishes a collaborative process to assess feasibility, guided by shared commitments to community service, public-interest broadcasting, cultural safety, equity and inclusion, and continued student learning opportunities.
As the city of London continues to grow, this work reflects a shared interest in strengthening local media through hyperlocal journalism, multilingual storytelling, and community-based programming.
WeRise will seek funding to lead a comprehensive feasibility study, with findings informing any future governance or operational decisions.
Both parties are committed to a transparent, community-informed process and will provide updates as appropriate. Fanshawe will make every effort to keep 106.9 the X on the air during this period.
Any future transition will be subject to regulatory approval, including from the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission.
