Special Earth Day Programming!

Special Programming Alert!

In account for today being Earth Day we will be substituting all of our music blocks with the Wetland Project, an environmental soundscape recorded from the TEKTEKSEN marsh in unceded WSÁNEĆ territory, Saturna Island, British Columbia.

Artists Brady Marks and Mark Timmings invite you to fill your home, work and leisure spaces with the sounds of birds, frogs, insects and airplanes for the entire day! Over 17 other radio stations are participating nation wide.

"Climate emergencies, political upheaval and the ongoing pandemic are raising societal anxiety. It’s important to stay informed, but now more than ever, taking a day to pause and reconnect with the “other-than-human” world helps listeners to collect their thoughts and find a footing in these tumultuous times. The slow-radio format provides a life-affirming break from the stressful news cycle and offers time to reflect upon a more lucid and caring future."

How Accessible is CFUR? TELL US!

Do you have opinions on accessibility? Wish CFUR was in a different Location? Are there things preventing you from accessing our station, services, or equipment? Do you want to be heard? Look no further! CFUR is designing an accessibility plan for our station and we want to hear from YOU!

We wish to make a plan that considers and addresses all potential barriers for staff, volunteers and public. Our plan is still in the works and we’re hoping to get feedback and suggestions from our community, audience, and partners to make sure we can get on track to meet everyone’s needs.

You can read our plan of action by clicking here. If you’ve read through that and/or are ready to share your thoughts, just click on the hamburger menu in the upper right corner of our website, select “Contact Us” and then click on “Audience Feedback.” (Or you can just click here)

Why not take some time out of your day to share your thoughts? We’re excited to hear them!

March 04 - Victoria, BC on CFUV 101.9 FM

The Radio Love concert features material from Gianna Lauren's latest album, Vanity Metrics, in addition to songs from the artist's back catalog. The session was recorded live off the floor at Port William Sound studio in Mountain Grove, ON in November 2021 with engineer Jonas Bonetta (evening hymns) and features Eliza Niemi on cello and vocals (Mauno, Eliza Niemi), Jeff Kingsbury on drums (Ellevator, Mauno), Julien Dussault on electric guitar (Pony Girl), and Greggory Clark on electric bass (Pony Girl).

"This project harmonizes my two passions: music and radio. Since we were unable to tour the release of Vanity Metrics due to the pandemic, we were compelled to think creatively of alternative formats to present the songs in a live setting," says Lauren. "Radio Love is incredibly meaningful to me because it allows us to continue to foster relationships with the radio community, and it reunited the band and I after two years apart."

CFUR is very excited to kickoff the tour with the first performance airing March 2nd at 3pm PST on 88.7 FM. You can also stream the show online here: https://cfur.ca/listen-live
