SRN Mediaworks formed as a small audio production crew, in Brampton, Ontario. Our first transmission was at 7:33 am that day, with our flagship programme,
Phil Liz and Lucy.
We first taped our flagship programme,
Phil Liz and Lucy, with actual casette tape, using antiquated audio equipment. Things looked great from our first day on as we chatted up a storm and created programming that would be aired later that day.
