, actively soliciting volunteer participation among the university's student body as the school does not have its own campus radio station. Until CJTR signed on, Regina was the largest market in Canada without either a campus or community radio station. An attempt in 1995 to incorporate a campus radio station at the University of Regina was abandoned for financial reasons, and as a result of that project's failure, Radius Communications incorporated and continued to pursue a community radio license. The CJTR music garage sale is a big source of money for the station - yearlong they collect donations of CDs, records, stereo equipment, music-related books, clothing, DVDs and more, and then sell them at great prices in one big sale. Members also pay a yearly $25 CD fee, for which they receive a newsletter and sometimes discounts from sponsors.
