'''Bob Du Broy''' is a [[:Category:Canadian Christians|Canadian Christian]] involved in [[:Category:Radio|radio]] and [[:Category:Visual Arts|visual arts]] ministry in [[Canada]].
Bob is co-founder of Christian Hit Radio Inc., which is the operator of radio station [http://www.chri.ca CHRI 99.1 FM] in [[Ottawa]], [[Ontario]], [[Canada]]. In [[:Category:1997|1997]], he helped found radio station [[CHRI 99.1 FM]]. His team helped change the [[CRTC]]'s [[Religious Broadcasting Policy]] in [[:Category:1993|1993]] through their public testimony in October [[:Category:1992|1992]] to make such stations legal after a 60-year ban in Canada. Keith Spicer, then chair of the CRTC, attributes the change of his tie-breaking vote to favouring allowing Christian stations to the testimony of 16-year old Daena Dixon, daughter of Bob's ministry partner Rob Dixon. Bob hosted the Christian music show "[[Song for You]]" at [[Carleton University]] radio station CKCU-FM from [[1987]] to [[1997]]. He worked as a manager at CBC head office from 1987 to to 1996. He has been a Juno Awards judge three times. Bob is available to assist prospective Canadian Christian broadcasters with start-up issues and regulatory matters. He has a particular call on his life to encourage Catholics and Evangelicals to work together in Christian media.

In [[:Category:2008|2008]], Bob worked to establish a second Christian radio station in Ottawa. The new station aimed to focus on teaching and hymns programming to meet the needs of mature Christians (http://www.chri.ca/chri2/viewpage.php?pageid=64). The CRTC denied the proposals for an FM station in 2005 and 2008. Bob is now examining the AM band option.
