The topics covered ranged from international to local and featured music from MIA!
They were:
*The attacks by Hindu groups on Indian women in bars.
*The new vaginal gel which could prevent the spread of AIDS.
*Michelle Obama being featured on the cover of Vogue Magazine- the second First Lady and one of few African Americans to be featured.
*CJAM in danger of losing its signal and how you can help. As promised on the show, the information about this is below.
*MIA performing 9 months pregnant at the grammy's on Sunday- seriously, the birth could have been part of the performance- that's how pregnant she was.
It was an interesting show and Hilda and I disagreed on some issues, but in the end- we agreed to disagree.
We need your help to save CJAM!
This is taken from the station website:
CJAM is currently applying for an amendment to our broadcasting undertaking to assume a new signal at 99.1 FM. While CJAM has been broadcasting at about 1000 watts for over 10 years, the station was never granted “Protected Status” from the CRTC, thanks to pressures from the FCC who were concerned with CJAM’s level of interference with adjacent American stations. Without “Protected Status”, CJAM faces the risk of losing its signal to other applicants. In fact, CJAM faced that very risk recently when the CBC decided to apply for 91.5 in the fall of 2008. The CBC ultimately withdrew its application, but CJAM still faces possible removal from the FM band thanks to a pending American application for our signal.
CJAM has identified a new signal – 99.1 FM - that could afford the station protected status and has moved forward with applications for this new signal to Industry Canada and the CRTC. The application currently before the CRTC is now open for public comment, and this is where we need you, our community of listeners, programmers and volunteers to make your voice heard. If you value CJAM and community radio in Windsor and Detroit, please express your support of our application.
Letters may be submitted electronically at the CRTC website , by fax at 819-994-0218, or by conventional mail to the following address: CRTC Ottawa Ontario K1A 0N2.
The best thing you can do is to support our current application for a new Canadian broadcast license located at 99.1FM:
