Memorial University Students' Union’s (MUNSU) executive committee is recommending the shuttering of the campus radio station — and its fate could be decided next month. In a statement, MUNSU's director of external affairs Nathan Gillingham said it is bringing a notice of motion to possibly close CHMR-FM as a MUNSU service. WATCH | CHMR-FM ‘blindsided’ by union’s recommendation to close the radio station : MUN’s students’ union is considering closing campus radio station CHMR-FM | Duration 1:42 MUNSU gave notice on Friday that it will be bringing forward a motion to its board of directors to close CHMR-FM. We were completely blindsided by this,” said Rollmann, adding it isn’t yet clear if the union has authority to close the station. Besides students, CHMR-FM also provides programming and volunteer opportunities for the community, including newcomers and immigrants, said Rollmann.
