"Good Day from the Bay" on CHCO-TV has been a hit with viewers, fostering a strong connection with the community by actively involving them in the show's programming. Hosts Jonathan Brittain and Vicki Hogarth have encouraged audience participation by inviting viewers to submit ideas and topics they want to see covered. This inclusive approach has resonated with the audience, making them feel directly involved in shaping the content of the show. From local stories and interviews to special segments celebrating milestones, the show has become a platform for the community to share their interests and stories.
The engagement has paid off, as the first three episodes of "Good Day from the Bay" have become the most-watched series on CHCO-TV since the launch of "NewsBreak26." This success highlights the show's appeal and the effectiveness of its community-centered approach. The program's focus on local content, combined with the warm and engaging hosting style, has created a show that not only entertains and informs but also strengthens community ties by reflecting the voices and interests of Southwest New Brunswick.

A propos l’IJL
LJI Impact is the section of commediaportal.ca where the journalists and their organizations participating in CACTUS' Local Journalism Initiative can share their greatest successes.
Through the written stories, photos and videos you see in the LJI Impact section, you'll be able to read first hand accounts about how the presence of a community journalist is making a difference in communities across Canada through the Local Journalism Initiative and the Community Media Portal.
The Community Media Portal is a gateway to the audio-visual media created by community media centres across Canada. These include traditional community TV and radio stations, as well as online and new media production centres.
Community media are not-for-profit production hubs owned and operated by the communities they serve, established both to provide local content and reflection for their communities, as well as media training and access for ordinary citizens to the latest tools of media production, whether traditional TV and radio, social and online media, virtual reality, augmented reality or video games.
The Community Media Portal has been funded by the Local Journalism Initiative (the LJI) of the Department of Canadian Heritage, and administered by the Canadian Association of Community Television Users and Stations (CACTUS) in association with the Fédération des télévisions communautaires autonomes du Québec (the Fédération). Under the LJI, over 100 journalists have been placed in underserved communities and asked to produce civic content that underpins Canadian democratic life.
