Bob Du Broy assists several Christian broadcasters with regulatory issues--particularly applications--and other technical and leadership challenges. His immediate project is to establish Word FM, a teaching and hymns station proposed for Ottawa.
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 [[:Category:1987|1987]] to [[:Category:1997|1997]]. He worked as a manager at CBC head office from [[:Category:1987 |1987]] to to [[:Category:1996|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 write a proposal and application to start a second Christian radio station in Ottawa. The new station called WordFM aimed to focus on teaching and hymns programming to meet the needs of mature Christians in the Ottawa area. The CRTC denied the proposals for this radio format in 2005 and 2008. Bob is now examining the AM band option.
