Algonquin College graduates join new Indigenous radio station

Posted on Friday, October 26th, 2018

Two of Algonquin College’s recent Media and Communications graduates have joined Ottawa’s new Indigenous radio station, ELMNT FM.

Aiden Wolf will hold down the early morning weekday wake-up slot 5:30 a.m., while Kayla Whiteduck, handles the mid-day shift with music and news from noon to 3 p.m.

Whiteduck, a First Nations Algonquin woman from Kitigan-Zibi in Quebec, graduated from Algonquin’s one-year Music Business and Arts program in 2014 and our Broadcasting-Radio program in 2018. She describes herself as a lover of classic rock.

Wolf, a veteran of broadcast radio and a voiceover artist, graduated from Algonquin’s two-year Broadcasting-Radio program in 2015.

ELMNT FM, the Spirit of Ottawa, began broadcasting this week. The station is owned by First Peoples Radio, a non-profit corporation established by Aboriginal Peoples Television Network in 2017.

The station – 95.7 FM – describes itself as “urban radio entirely devoted to Indigenous peoples.”
