History

Cameron Steele and Lucia-Davindia began CONTACT Talk Radio in October 2001 as a terrestrial and internet talk radio program. Through strategic marketing and high profile guests, CTR quickly established a wide listenership locally and internationally. Listeners and Hosts alike mistook CTR as the station it was broadcasting on. Regardless, due to CTR ’ s stellar reputation, Hosts were still requesting to be placed under the CTR brand. After successful test marketing throughout 2005, the only natural “ next step ” for CONTACT was become it ’ s own station. So in March 2006, CONTACT began its 24/7 line up.


With over 60 Hosts today and growing, and an amazing team of professionals, CTR is a highly successful radio station reaching and assisting millions of people in making positive and empowering choices for themselves.
