SURREY, BC, Jan. 30 /CNW/ - Terry Mahoney, General Manager of Rogers OMNI
Television British Columbia, is pleased to welcome the station's first board
of Multi-faith Community Advisors. Like the system of Community Advisors put
in place 20 years ago by multilingual/multicultural stations Rogers OMNI.1 and
OMNI.2, the new advisory board for Rogers OMNI.10/BC will play an essential
role in the station's feedback mechanisms. Collectively, OMNI.10's multi-faith
advisors reflect the various faith and cultural communities served by the
station's programming and will assist in maintaining two-way communications,
for the ultimate benefit of viewer and broadcaster alike.
"Rogers OMNI.10/BC has grown rapidly in the relatively brief time we've
been on-air and the formation of our new board complements this growth," says
Terry Mahoney. "As we evolve, our Community Advisors will bring further
reflection to OMNI, its programming and its policies."
"The process of identifying candidates for OMNI.10's board of Multi-faith
Community Advisors was launched, essentially, with the launch of the station
itself," he continues. "Top of mind for us were individuals with a good
understanding of the intricacies of their own faith as well as healthy respect
for, and appreciation of, the beliefs of people of differing religious
persuasion."
