Non-stop Music Until Monday

A special six-day broadcast is now underway on CJNU. Until Monday evening at 10, we're presenting non-stop nostalgia music from the 1940s, '50s, '60s and more - plus some of our regular feature programming including 'Yesteryear Radio Classics' weeknights at 9 p.m. and 'The Original Big Band Showcase' with Denny Farrell Sunday afternoon at four.

If you miss some of the informative nostalgia memories our announcers talk about when they're on the air, perhaps you should look at this '1958 Winnipeg Visitors' Guide'. In this 24-page brochure, presented here in PDF format, you can read about things people were doing in Winnipeg in the 1950s - who they could see when they went out for entertainment, dining options including the Paddock, where people shopped, where visitors to the city could stay, and much more. Of course, many of the 'things to do' the visitors' guide describes are no longer options in 2010, but it does make interesting reading for people with an interest in nostalgia.

At the conclusion of the current six day broadcast on Monday, August 2, at 10 p.m., CJNU will sign off the air for a short time at 107.9 FM and on MTS TV channel 725, but continue streaming nostalgia music through this website. All three options for listening - FM, TV and Internet - will be back on Wednesday morning, August 4. We'll begin our August broadcast with five more days of continuous music and feature programming. Our announcers will be back in the studio beginning at 7 a.m. Monday, August 9.

CJNU's host sponsor for our August broadcast will be the Stroke Recovery Association of Manitoba (SAM), providing services and programs to stroke survivors and their family members in Manitoba for 37 years. Our studio for the month will be in the SAM offices at 247 Provencher Boulevard.
