Nostalgia Music and More 24 Hours a Day

Monday's Radio Classic

At 9 p.m., you'll hear a 'Lux Radio Theatre' produced and hosted by Cecil B DeMille. An adaptation of the 1936 movie 'Craig's Wife', it's based on a Pulitzer prize winning play about a domineering woman, who marries a wealthy man for his money, then uses her position to further her own ambitions. Rosalind Russell appears in her original movie role as Harriet Craig. The show was first broadcast on May 12, 1941. This evening's program will conclude with a 'Five Minute Mystery', 'A Rose By Any Other Name'. More.

If the music you like best is from an earlier era, the days of your youth, CJNU Nostalgia Radio is for you. We play all the best music from the 1940s through the '70s - and more. You'll also hear a sprinkling of music that's a little bit older - or newer, including from some current artists such as Michael Bublé and Diana Krall.

Sundays have long been special on CJNU with Winnipeg veteran broadcaster Gren Marsh in the morning, Tom Dercola with 'Malts, Mustangs and Memories' and 'The Memories Show' in the afternoon, followed by Denny Farrell and his 'The Original Big Band Showcase' from 4:00 to 6:00. Sundays become even more special on February 5 when new features begin on CJNU. At 7:00 each Sunday evening, you'll hear an episode from The Jack Benny Show. Although these programs originally aired between 1932 and 1955, the humour is as fresh as the day it was written. That'll be followed at 7:30 by a different music variety program each week. On February 5, the feature will be from the 'Command Performance' series, a wartime Variety Show broadcast mainly to the armed forces between 1942 and 1949.

Our host sponsor for our January broadcast is the ALS Society of Manitoba. The mission of the ALS Society of Manitoba is one of HOPE to Help Our People Every way we can. Amyotrophic lateral Sclerosis (ALS) otherwise known as Lou Gehrig's Disease or Motor Neuron Disease is a fatal, rapidly progressive neuromuscular disease that affects approximately 3,000 Canadians and more than 250 Manitobans.
