Cabin Radio’s nightly live video broadcast kept you updated with everything happening in the NWT – and tried to keep you sane, too.
Life isn’t easy with a pandemic going on. There are changes every day, there’s a lot to take in, and some of the coping mechanisms we all rely on aren’t as easy to use any more.
Cabin Corner, initially named Covid Corner, was designed to help with all of that.
Hosted from his home by Ollie Williams, the show went live on Facebook at 7pm each weekday evening with a friendly, informal update on everything that happened during the day.
Watch each show on the Cabin Radio Facebook page. You don’t need a Facebook account to view.
Each show was rebroadcast at 11pm nightly on CKHR in Hay River, followed by repeats at 8am, noon, and 5pm the following day.
