Give to CJSR all your monies
Mmm...radio cake...
First off, I do feel bad for forgetting about the CKUA Fall Fundraiser, so give to them some of all of your money too.
But today is the first of ten days of the 2010 CJSR FunDrive!
CJSR is a campus and community radio station located in the subterranean levels of the University of Alberta.
It’s Edmonton’s volunteer-run radio station, boasting a line-up of shows so eclectic it will literally blow your mind. (That’s why you can only listen for up to seven hours at a time.)
CJSR isn’t rock, it isn’t country, it’s not pop or hip-hop…CJSR is ALL of that, and world beats, alternative news, roots, blues, metal, and 17 genres of music you haven’t even heard of yet.
If you need two more reasons to donate some money to CJSR here they are:
1: You get swag like hoodies, belt buckles, and compilation albums.
2: Check the video of Makin’ Whoopee hosts Chad and Colin (above), as they detail month after month of the 2010 Conservative Party of Canada calendar. I’ve selected one of my favourites, the Grandma Party month, as an example. Those guys deserve your monetary love.
Time for some Juggalo news
The other day we were talking about Edmonton’s new radio station, it’s umpteenth on your FM dial, and joked about Sally applying to the CRTC for all Juggalo-news radio.

Hey, if we get to 50 radio stations do we all win free iPods? Because there’s no Nickelback on those!
Anyway…we’re trying to add some firepower to our potential on-air lineup.
Next time, the CRTC won’t so easily dismiss the idea of the Juggalo-nation having its own broadcasting power.
Oh, and if you aren’t quite sure who, or what, a juggalo is, you can catch up thanks to the wonders of the Internet. I’m pretty sure juggalos invented the Internet.
A new radio station!
Edmonton’s got a new radio station, its 1,298th on the FM dial.
Well, it only feels like that many. Though we have added a half-dozen stations in the last couple of years. (Sonic, Bounce, Hot 107, Magic, Now, and iNews880 flipped from Cool880. And there’s at least one more pending launch, that I can think of.)
And Now is going to play (from the sound of their introduction) pop and chart hits…like EZ Rock, the Bounce, Hot 107…and a few slightly older and rockier hits, like Joe or maybe a Sonic or Bear-lite. Because people love having options.
And Sally’s Juggalo News Network wasn’t approved?! What is up with that CRTC?
Anyway, turn off your iPod and check it out.
Now.
And yes, those “When?” and “Soon.” billboards were all about the new Rawlco radio station in Edmonton. They now say “Now.”
But just like the Aug 5 signs, some crafty Edmontonians figured it out. You guys are like Sherlock Holmes or something.
