About us
Since 1975 Vancouver Co-op Radio has been providing broadcast and podcast access to diverse community voices across the greater Vancouver region.
Each week our 350 volunteer broadcasters produce 145 hours of original programming in over 10 languages out of our beautiful radio station located in the heart of the Downtown Eastside. Our broadcast signal reaches south to Bellingham, east of Abbotsford, and west to Nanaimo. Each hour of programming is uploaded as streamable content to www.coopradio.org and select shows produce podcast series.
Our hyperlocal focus on issues that are important to communities who are otherwise under and/or mis-represented in mainstream media aligns with our mission to provide a voice for the voiceless. Our volunteer public affairs broadcasters have a history of keeping stories alive long after corporate outlets have moved on, including the opioid crisis and murdered and missing women.
