New Membership Coordinator!
3 weeks 17 hours

Welcome to Alan Sovran (pronounced “sovereign”), the new Membership Coordinator!

Alan is from CFRU-FM in Guelph where for three years he hosted indie music shows ("Okay Radio", "Fake Headlines" and "Alan's Psychadelic Breakfast", the last one named after a Pink Floyd song.) He was also on their Board of Directors for a year.

He is super keen about community radio and though an Anglophone, speaks, writes and loves French. His job over the next nine months includes launching a French version of our website, planning a bilingual track of workshops at NCRC and helping develop materials to help stations carry more French programming and services.

And of course he will also be working on member outreach and communications and supporting stations with compliance and other questions and concerns. He will be in the office three days a week and his email is alan@ncra.ca

2 weeks 2 days

Nardwuar the Human Serviette has been hosting a music interview show at CITR-FM in Vancouver, BC since October 1987. As he says: "I had been listening since high school and knew that it was the place to be!"

 nardwuarHis new song "I Hate Being Late (When I'm Early)" is about "always being late to my show at CITR (despite showing up early)!

Yes, despite early arrivals at CiTR, I somehow usually still end up being late for my radio show. Very frustrating!"

It features Andrew W.K. and was filmed at CiTR's studios. "It was natural to shoot the video at CiTR as the song is about CiTR! Even CiTR Alumni helped direct it (Jason Margolis)!" To see the video, click on the picture. For more information, click on the title of this post.
