Our Story
Radio Swift 1200 AM is a licensed and CRTC-regulated ethnic radio station proudly serving the diverse communities of Surrey, British Columbia and the wider Lower Mainland. A long-standing advocate for culturally representative media, the station operates with a clear mission: to inform, empower, and connect South Asian audiences through content that reflects their values, languages, and lived experiences.
As part of its regulatory obligations under the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC), Radio Swift 1200 AM upholds the highest standards in responsible journalism, local storytelling, and cultural inclusivity. The station proudly prioritizes Canadian content (CanCon) and is committed to reflecting the diversity of voices that define Canada’s multicultural identity.
Radio Swift 1200 AM delivers a dynamic mix of news, talk shows, music, current affairs, and community programming in a variety of South Asian languages—including Punjabi, Hindi, Urdu, and more. The station plays a vital role in supporting new immigrants, youth, and multigenerational families by providing culturally relevant information, public service content, and a platform for civic engagement.
Our Mission
In addition to entertainment and information, the station emphasizes community development, social cohesion, and advocacy on local issues—making it not just a radio station, but a trusted community institution.
By bridging cultures and celebrating the unique contributions of South Asian Canadians, Radio Swift 1200 AM aims to be a powerful voice for inclusion, representation, and progress in Canadian media.
