February is the month of Valentine's Day - a time for hearts, beautiful flowers and sweet candy. It's also, like every other month, a time for the beautiful, sweet sounds of nostalgia music on CJNU.

Also on our weekly program schedule are a number of Feature Programs including 'CJNU Radio Classics', repeat broadcasts of programs from the 1930s through the '50s, heard weeknights at 9:00 and Sunday evenings at 7:00. All things big band, from the golden era of that music to more contemporary groups, is heard on the 'Original Big Band Showcase' with Denny Farrell heard Sunday afternoons from 4:00 to 6:00. Two hours of 1950s and '60s pop music with a dash of instrumental/ surf music from the Ventures and other groups, plus a little Martin Denny, Les Baxter, and Jobim is now heard Friday evenings from 7:00 to 9:00 on 'Music From The North Shore' hosted by Greg Gardner.

Our host sponsor this month is Variety, the Children's Charity. This organization has raised more than $22 million in Manitoba to meet the special needs of children of all abilities. Their efforts enable children to participate more fully in life's activities. Variety's Gold Heart Campaign is a major fund raising project for Variety (click here to buy for $3). The 2012 Gold Heart has a 'Star Wars' theme.

'Scott's Best' with announcer Scott Best (right) and producer John Panting is heard Saturday afternoons from 3:00 TO 6:00 on CJNU.

CJNU is non-profit community service radio operated by the Nostalgia Broadcasting Cooperative. An important part of our revenue comes from our members. Membership is only $40 for the first year, just $25 in subsequent years. If you'd like to help ensure that we can keep great nostalgia music and feature programs on FM, MTS TV and in streaming Internet audio during 2012 and far into the future, please become a member of our coop.
