Putting Together a Kick-Ass Music Show
All you need to know to have a kick-ass music program, with everything from picking out music, programming sets, backgrounding, interviews, features, audience building and improving your presentation.
Speakers:
Nick Foster, CKUT
Nick Foster, known to listeners as Professor Groove, started WEFUNK Radio with co-host DJ Static in 1996. On WEFUNK, the duo presents a two hour mixshow bringing together hip hop and its roots of funk and soul. Over its decade on-air, the radio show has become a mainstay of the Montreal airwaves (on CKUT, 90.3FM) and garnered an ever-growing online listenership that includes syndication on Apple's iTunes Radio. Esquire magazine proclaimed WEFUNK "ten times more satisfying than the recycled tunes on your iPod," and publications as diverse as Straight No Chaser and Fortune have been quick to agree.
Kristiana Clemens,CKUT

She has been working in campus and community radio in Canada for more than 15 years, and has also worked as a freelance journalist, community organizer and dj.
