January 13 2026 // Aviva Majerczyk // CJLO

We made it to 2026! Every year it feels like CJLO is getting bigger and better. From filling our schuedule from 10AM-10PM, to multiple packed concerts, to the most successful funding drive in station history, 2025 had a lot to be proud of. As we look back on 2025, lets also give a nod to all the amazing local, underground, and otherwise just awesome albums our DJs have spun in the past year. From the explosive rise of Geese, to new albums from station legends like No Joy and Kestels, to Ribbon Skirt's miraculous run, holding down both the #10 and #1 spots, CJLO kept its finger on the pulse all year long.
