The James Bay Cree Communications Society (JBCCS;
JBCCS was founded in 1981 to provide independent daily Cree-language cultural and social programming. The first time it went on the air in Eeyou Istchee was in June 1986 through the CBC. In 1998, JBCCS received funding to build its own network using telephone lines and also provide transmitters to some communities that did not have their own transmitters. The network was officially opened with celebrations in August 2001 in Chisasibi.[3]
