Back in Effect July 22, 2010

Hi Everyone!

CFYT Radio hopes you had as great of a Music Fest as we did!

The whole event was broadcast live on Cable Channel 12 right here in Dawson City, Yukon and what an event it was!

Amazingly diverse performers brought huge amounts of passion and enthusiasm to our wee  town and the whole weekend was just tonnes of fun.

CFYT was also lucky enough to broadcast an interview with childhood favourite and DCMF 2010 darling Fred Penner last Friday. DJ John Watt interviewed him and it even garnered CFYT a shout-out from Fred himself on the DCMF mainstage. Look for news about a re-broadcast of that interview in the near future!

Thanks to everyone who helped make a great weekend a great success and we at CFYT hope you enjoyed the coverage. Our Station Manager Reuben was also able to capture some great Station IDs from performers, so you can also look forward to hearing those by listening to CFYT 106.9. Click here to listen live online!

I think it’s fly when summer stops by for the summer, in the summer. July 8, 2010

sun

CFYT is still reeling from an exciting week of Dawson Idol action! Once again, big congrats to all the winners and competitors and many, many thanks to all the businesses, volunteers, and supporters who made the event such a rip-roaring success with special props to  Duncan, Abbey and everyone at the Westminster Hotel for giving us a place to rock and/or roll!

In other exciting new-stuff news, we also have brand new CFYT Tshirts available at the Station for just $20. With two sassy new designs and a host of shirt colours, styles, and sizes, there is something for everyone. Stop by, call 993-5152, or email cfytradio (at) gmail (dot) com for more details about gettin’ yourself a hot top!

Important programming note at CFYT Radio– we will not be doing our regular broadcast next weekend, July 15-18th, as our resources will be used instead to do a televised broadcast of the the Dawson City Music Festival, one of the most exciting times of the year in the Yukon. During the weekend there will be several special broadcasts (like John’s interview with DCMF 2010 performer Fred Penner next Friday, July 16th at 2:30 pm!) so keep your eye on the website for announcements and details.

We will return with our regular schedule on July 22nd, and I’m sure we will have much to report after a busy weekend away!

Tessa is Dawson Idol! July 7, 2010

tessa-jonDawson Idol 2010 Tessa!
                    (Pictured here with Dawson Idol 2010 Host Jon Seacreastander)

CFYT Radio’s Dawson Idol competition wrapped up (after 2 raucous and talented showings) last night and nothing compared 2 Saskatoon/Victoria’s Tessa Kautzman, who took the top prize from the judges. In second place Aubyn O’Grady and Matt Sarty were boss and fly with moves to match, and Dawson classic Craig “Chedda” took third place prize for his jammin’ rock stylings.

Hosts Jon Seacrestrander (Monday) and Reu-Ben Mulroney did a great job setting the stage and the “honourable” judges Ben Shore, Andy Roebuck, and Sam Coxwell were a tough but fair trio of sass. The sisters Fraser made some awesome decorative jazz to get things festive, and Dylan, Ian, Rachelle, Morgan, and Blake (and probably others too!) sold votes and/or 50/50 tickets as though they were hotcakes.

We had great support from our community and the fundraiser was a big success for CFYT! Thanks to all who came out and performed, voted, cheered, rocked, rolled, etc. A major big thanks to Abbey & Duncan and everyone at the Westminster Hotel. Our gracious hosts not only donated their amazing venue and services to our event, but also gave us a big ol’ donation at the event too! Wow! Good times had by all, new tshirts worn by many (more available at the Station and more to come soon), and the beautiful music of summer time.


Thanks everyone. You’re all Dawson Idylls to me.
