Heating up the New Year with Killer Shows

In an effort to combat these winter blues, CJLO proudly presents a new batch of bright-eyed, bushy-tailed hosts and DJs. Their shows provide a Spring-like renewal to our airwaves.

Let's start with Fredy, who takes a new guest cohost every week on a trip across Canada, stirring new Canadian music into the delicious musical stew of Hiway 1 (Sunday, 1:00PM). You can also tune in later that evening for the thematic episodes, cinematic music, and thoughtful musings of Ms. Hill on What's up with That? (Sunday, 11:00PM).

Tune it at midday on Thursday for a double-dose of up-to-date info. The Link Radio are kicking off their second full semester, bringing you a full hour of Concordia news and analysis (Thursday, 11:00AM). They'll be followed up by The Starting Rotation, a brand news hour of sports talk, hosted by a raucous and outspoken crew of dedicated fans (Thursday, 12:00).

On Fridays, the new content spans from morning to late late night, starting with Shibuya Crossing, your best source for J-Pop, J-Rock, Visual Kei, and more, brought to you by a dedicated fan of Japanese cultural exports (Friday, 9:00AM). The afternoons will take you halfway across the world with Safari, a fun and upbeat show that explore music from across the African continent (Friday, 2:00PM). Finally, you can take a tour of the wee hours with The Dead of Night, a show that starts with lively talk and electronic music but becomes more relaxed over the course of the show, ending with comtemplative piano-based music (Friday-Saturday, 12:00AM to 6:00AM).

This Fall also saw the return of two favourite CJLO alumni. Acronym, formerly the host of The Letter B, has decided to show us a brand new side of his repertoire, showcasing the music you'd hear in the elusive Third Room of a quality nightclub (Sunday-Monday, 12:00AM). Then on Monday mornings, wake up to New Media and Politics 2.0, where the unmistakable voice of Karl K. punctuates a delightful set of Jazz with an opinionated dose of political news (Monday, 8:00AM).

And those aren't the only movings and shakings. Fans of hip-hop will be glad to see that we've consolidated our Tuesday evening hip-hop lineup with the addition of Stroll Around the Groove (Tuesday, 8:00PM, formerly on Thursdays) and The Hypnotic (Tuesday, 11:00PM, formerly on Mondays). They're joining The Phantastiq Cypha and Beats from the East to create a six-hour behemoth of hip-hop, funk, and soul (Tuesday, 6:00PM to 12:00AM).

What you won't hear on Tuesdays is the Purple Carrot. Not to worry though! Host Anna will now be in on Thursdays with the latest indie-pop, rock, and freak folk (Thursday, 1:00PM). Meanwhile, Maiden Voyage sails to Mondays to combine forces with With Gay Abandon for two hours of the best in female-fronted and queer music (Monday, 4:00-6:00pm ). This means that everyone’s favourite chart show, Charts and Crafts, is now wishing you a TGIF (Friday, 12:00-2:00PM) and The Death Metal Disco Show is amping up the end of your week with the a hype-filled selection contemporary electronic music (Friday, 3:00PM)
