Located at 17 Conney’s Lane in historic Arichat, Nova Scotia, Telile has been a vital piece of the community for over three decades. Born from, and in response to the collapse of the North Atlantic cod fishery, attempts to stimulate the local economy and create a reliable media outlet lead to Telile’s early beginings. Today, Telile houses a modern production studio and set; holds a broadcast license, and continues to adapt and evolve to an ever changing environment. Today, Telile couldn’t operate without the dedication of its Station Crew.
Through the 2000s and 2010s, Telile featured a daily scroll which informed viewers of community events, offered free advertising to individuals and organizations, and delivered free personal and family announcements. Once a month, on average, it offered a new show (covering a local event and/or interviews with community members) which it would then run a few times per week. This programming also included music performances by local artists. Telile also broadcast the Municipality of the County of Richmond council meetings which became an important source of news for residents. Also highly popular has been its regular weekly televised Bingo which, from the early days of Telile, has continue to provide Telile with the lion’s share of its operating revenue.
