MBS Radio in the community

MBS radio stations reflect the communities we serve. Radio is immediate. We have covered disasters like the Swissair crash outside of Halifax with live, continuous broadcasting (including all night) on both of our Halifax radio stations. We had reporters on scene, witness and rescue interviews and even responded to dozens of media inquiries from around the world at the same time. We were on-air with radio stations from Japan to the UK during this event.

We supplied the same kind of coverage during Hurricane Juan, but we took it a step further as we live in the same communities that were impacted. With the devastation across Nova Scotia and PEI, MBS launched a fundraising campaign for the restoration of the famous Halifax Public Gardens. We started the radiothon off with our own contribution of $100,000. We raised over 1 million dollars for this restoration.

We have helped raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for local, community charities. In just the past year, we have participated in numerous fundraising initiatives including:

It pays to listen to MBS radio stations! Over $100,000 in cash and prizes have been won. Prizes included trips to New York City to the Eagles, Shawn Mendes in Montreal, Drake in Vancouver, the Zac Brown Band in Boston and even a Maple Leafs game against Pittsburgh.
