In Arctic coastal towns, community radio has long kept residents informed about shifting ice, school closures, and emergency alerts. With smartphones and satellite internet, many notices now travel through group chats and apps. Yet the radio stations still reach boat crews at sea and elders without reliable data, and they air bilingual programs that preserve local stories and announce council meetings. Technology may have changed how some information moves, but community radio remains a trusted hub for sharing and safeguarding the town's knowledge.

Which choice best states the main idea of the text?

AEven though newer digital tools handle some announcements, community radio still connects people and preserves local knowledge.

BMost radio hosts in these towns prefer delivering long, detailed weather updates rather than announcing council meetings, and this personal preference now shapes the stations more than any broader role in community life.

CCommunity radio has aired bilingual programs for many years in Arctic towns, and this single tradition—more than emergency alerts or outreach to residents without reliable internet—now serves as the radio stations' primary purpose.

DMessaging apps and satellite group chats now carry every function community radio once provided, fully replacing the stations as the town's primary source for information and cultural memory.
