Wunderhorse at Le Belmont: A Rare and Intimate Night with a Band Destined for Bigger Stages

Discordia 04: The 2002 Netanyahu Riot (Part 2)

On September 9th, 2002, Israeli Prime Minister Bejamin Netanyahu was scheduled to speak at Concordia's Hall building. The speech never happened. Protestors turned out in waves to block the event's attendees. Classes were cancelled, police pepper sprayed students, and 5 were arrested. It's now known as the Netanyahu "riot."

This episode is part 2 of that story.

CJLO YEAR END TOP 100 OF 2024

We’ve made it to the end of 2024! It’s been a HUGE year here at CJLO. We put out over 25 Live from the Oven sessions and even more interviews and show takeovers. Funding Drive was one of biggest successes to date, raising over $13,000 for the station! 2024 also saw more original journalism published at the station than ever before. With help from the Community Radio Fund of Canada, CJLO was able to launch the Discordia series, which will be going strong through 2025. Further, CJLO’s schedule is now jam-packed with brand new shows, and volunteers are buzzing around the station in ways we haven’t seen since pre-Covid.
