Howdy all;
Yes it's that time of year again; CIUT is doing it's Spring Membership drive starting next Monday April 16.
As you know CIUT is a non-profit community radio station which relies on it's listenership for support. We run few ads so we can run more tunes. More rock less talk. CIUT is largely volunteer run with programmers mostly buying our own tunes, yet we still have bills to pay to keep the lights on and the music flowing. That's why we have to come to you for a week starting next Monday.
As for me I have my show "Moondog's Ballroom" Tuesdays at 5pm.
"Moondog's Ballroom" plays loads of traditional Rock and Roll (in capitals),from the 1950's to today w/ rockabilly, garage, surf, punk, cowpunk, country rock, folk rock, psyche, blues, doo wop and honky tonk, with lots of Canadian and local bands. We've also had a variety of local bands from different genres down in the studios playing live including; Youth Crime, The Swingin' Blackjacks, Speaking Tongues, CATL, Luau or Die, Canteen Knockout not mention The Vibrators, Slit Lip Rayfield, The Fruit Bats and The Three Blue Teardrops.
But I need your support to keep the show on the air and bring all this to you.
