The 10th Annual CJLO Diego Awards

It's the end of another academic year, and that means: THE DIEGO AWARDS!

Named after a volunteer who has sadly left us (we miss you, Diego Ferro!), the CJLO Diegos is an annual awards ceremony created to celebrate a year of hard work and quality programming that our amazing DJs and Volunteers put into CJLO day after day. So let's celebrate their dedication and tireless effort to making CJLO 1690 AM a quality radio station, and also celebrate independent media and community radio at large.

-- Be sure to check out our Programming Schedule for details and show times!
