Cree Radio Network

The James Bay Cree Communications Society was incorporated as an independent entity in March 1981.   It started with a  print magazine called Cree Ajemoon.   In 1986, we begin the regional radio production in Mistissini with a few employees by working with CBC north via their satelitte feed in Montreal.   JBCCS was instrumental in helping local commuiites set up local radio stations and their associations within the smaller communities.   JBCCS in 1995, with the Grand Council of the Crees signed a MOU agreement with the provincial government to access funds to support the creation of our own network within Eeyou Istchee.    This was realized and the creation of the Cree Radio Network was implemented in 2000 with a special broadcast from Chisasibi.

Our mission:

We are a Cree owned and managed company based in Eeyou Istchee serving Eenou/Eeyou. We provide access and programming services designed to entertain and inform our people. We strive to improve the social well being of the Cree and support strong cultural identity and pride.
