SPEAKER BRIAN SAMUELS HBR
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Will introduced Brian Samuels from Hunters Bay Radio and formerly RBC Securities. 
Brian Samuels is partnered with Jeff Carter in running Hunters Bay Radio. 
HBR is a non-profit radio local radio station run majority on 45 volunteers managed by Jeff Carter.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Brian Thompson and Jeff Carter planned HBR as a web station. 
When Jeff and Brian had a falling out Brian got involved in the station. 
May 2014 HBR went FM.  The FM 88.6 had to be setup by CRTC regulations. 
The radio programming is news, talk shows, local musicians and community events. 
There are currently 2 studios one at Surenet building in Huntsville and the other is located
at the Nippissing Building in Bracebridge.  HBR is working on acquiring another studio
in Magnetawan if they get the funding.  Brian gave us numerous statistics about listener ship
and social media.  HBR gets 850 hits just for bus cancelations alone.  They are number 1 on
social media and their largest target market is adults 35+ in age. 
This makes HBR great for advertising local businesses.  Brian wants to encourage great
relationships with all the organizations in town. If any committee wants to plug an event
please contact James Carrol and he would be happy to schedule you on his show. 
Tony Clement DJ's at  HBR, This HR has 22 minutes have been on the station and
Kevin Newman tweeted that HBR is the best local radio station.
