2010: I can’t believe we made it.

(happy year of the tiger)

Hi Radio and Internets,

CFYT Vice Prez Jen here, just flew back from the ultra-cosmopolitan metropolis of Saskatoon and boy do I have a big ol’ stack of new records I am just raring to play on these here airwaves. Feels good, feels great. CFYT took a bit of a holiday too but this weekend things are back in full swing– what a way to start the year.

So many things rhyme with ten that I’m actually so overwhelmed by potential subject lines for this post that I had to just keep it simple so my head didn’t explode with jokes. It’s a living.

Welcome to a fresh new year at CFYT radio. We’re in the double-digit decades now, and I hope everyone had a lovely holiday season and is enjoying the year thus far. There are some changes in the CFYT schedule these days, including the triumphant (and long overdue) return of Fish and Brewis hosted by CFYT board secretary Georgia Fraser on Friday nights and the recently added Eat My Shorts with Caili starting off Saturday afternoons. Big ups to all those hardcores who stuck around for December to offer some holiday programming and thanks especially to CFYT station manager Aaron Burnie for holding it all together. Most of our DJs have returned from holiday travels, so we have a nice bustling schedule this weekend and I, for one, am looking very forward to jamming out.

You too can jam out; click here to listen live online! via our online stream.

Here be the schedule:


FRIDAY January 8th


2-3           Simon – The Story Hour
3-5           John – Hours On The John
5-6           Tara – Come On

Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree

funny_christmas_picture_0004

I personally can’t hear that song without picturing the scene from Home Alone wherein the ingenious Kevin McAllister sets up an entirely fake Christmas party to foil those pesky burglars.

Nothing says “festive” quite like seasonal music and the CFYT record collection does feature a holiday contingent, so I urge all listeners to holler in and request their Christmas favourites– we’ll try our best to make your whimsical snow-globe dreams come true, musically speaking at least.

CFYT will be taking a short break from our usual programming over Christmas and the New Year in order to give our hard-working volunteers a deserved break, but there will be special programming featured to keep you groovin’ for the holidays– check cfyt.ca for details and look for posters and ads around town!

Until then, however, we have our usual full 3 day broadcast comin’ at you once again.

A Long December?

snowbird

Remember that Counting Crows song? Me too. It’s okay– don’t deny it. The nineties are no one’s fault.

We have made it to the final month of 2009 and no perpetual darkness will stop CFYT from rocking on! Just like a bunch of Anne Murrays, we’re going to keep on delivering the hits well into our twilight years (or months if you prefer).

Over the month of December, the programming schedule might fluctuate due to extra-busy business, holiday travel plans, escapes to the Southern hemisphere, etc. but check the website for the most current schedules and information to stay informed and feel free to email cfyt (@) hotmail (dot) com or call the station at 993-5152 if you have questions.

You’ll notice a few differences in this weekend’s lineup, but there’s still plenty of great local programming to go round so tune into 106.9 fm in Dawson City or click here to listen live online!

See Youuuu in December

funny-pictures-cat-sound-studio

So long, November. December– Get in!

Welcome to the final edition of CFYT’s weekend programming for another month.

We’re sadly losing another DJ to the lure of warmer climes (have fun in Mexico, Freddy) but we have new candidates training and a fulsome roster of hard-cores prepared to tough it out all winter long, so stay tuned for some excellent jams as well as interesting tidbits about the weather and low levels of light! It’s also easy to become a DJ: if you or a bud (pal, friend, chum, etc.) is interested, click here for all the info and paperwork you need to start the process.

In other CFYT news, we’ll be reprazentin’ at the KIAC Xmas Xtravaganza this Saturday, November 28th from 1-5 pm. It’s happening at the ODD Fellows Hall (corner of 2nd and Princess), and CFYT will be selling T-shirts and memberships. All DJS are invited, nay encouraged, to drop off mix CDs of their own stylings before the Bazaar so that we can give them out as prizes. You also get to promote your show and demonstrate your breath-taking music taste and potentially gain some new listeners, so get mixin’ those discs and feel free to email cfytradio (at) hotmail (dot) com for more information or call the station and ask for more scoop.

Also, since we’ve been on the “web” for quite a while now and streaming our audio since the summer, I thought I might share with you a few fun facts about this here website and its readership. Since we started streaming in July, we’ve had over 10,000 “hits” on the website, with visitors from 20 different countries including Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, and Japan. Our highest listenership region is the Yukon, but our listeners from Owen Sound, Ontario listen the longest– Holla! It is pretty amazing to see all the exciting ways people end up at cfyt.ca– through facebook, twitter, blogs, and search engines, as well as a healthy dose of direct traffic, which means people are listening when our stellar DJs announce the web details on the air. I’m really proud of how far our internet presence has come and thanks to everyone who promotes, suggests, and forces CFYT onto their friends, families, and well-wishers.

Do that more now– here’s what’s happening on CFYT this weekend;
