In 2009, Matthew Rondina, a media teacher at Hodan Nalayeh Secondary School assumed the program director, removing the elements of student leadership and independence from the station.

Under Rondina's changes students were no longer able to run their own shows and the station ceased to exist as a club/ extra curricular activity.

Because RAV FM is no longer student-led, the station continues to run without student support during off times in the scholar year, using a set playlist.

The approximate diameter for reception of RAV-FM under normal weather conditions is as far north as Elgin Mills Road, as far west as Highway 400, as far south as Sheppard Avenue and as far east as Yonge Street.

RAV FM was originally run as an extracurricular activity consisting of student-led shows based on a variety of subjects, such as sports, news and music.

The course has since been taught by Matthew Rondina and explores radio communication as well as the entertainment industry aspects of broadcasting, including social networking.
