Your hosts are Mark Havens, Heather Robbins & Jennifer Benjaminson
Join us Sunday to Thursday as we travel back in time to the period when the family gathered around the radio to listen as the world was being brought into their living rooms. It was a marvel in its time and thankfully many of those marvelous moments are preserved for other generations to enjoy. At CJNU we try to bring you the best of the best for your listening pleasure nightly on the Nostalgia station.
