Bringing equity to the airwaves one member at a time

The Women’s Radio Collective formed in January of 2009 at CJAM 99.1 FM. Our mandate is to attract, train and retain female volunteers to create gender equity in campus-community radio. We offer opportunities for women to learn and develop broadcasting skills to produce their own alternative media. The collective fosters female empowerment on and off the airwaves, and encourages members to assert their feminist perspectives.

Unconventional Territory



So we had a great Slits show! The first month of the Women's Collective shows at CJAM have been a success. This week on Jan 19th, myself and Christina Naccorato hosted an hour long special on The Slits. Avant-garde, jungle, dub, post-punk, raw and unpolished females rocking out and sending a message while they're at it. THE SLITS HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY and you should take the time to listen! Download the show that aired from 5-6pm and/or check out Christina's blog post as well as mine on the Washing Machine blog. There will also be a future post on the upcoming Wednesday Jan. 28th installment of Genesis on the topic of and issues surrounding menstruation hosted by myself and Rachel Pipitone.
