So I would like to wish everyone a happy turkey day and hope everyone had a fantastic weekend. I know I did, and I especially enjoyed the extra day of leisure on Monday. But this lead me to a small minor problem. As most of you know, I have a radio program on CJAM which is broadcast mondays from 10 30 am till noon (PLUG! PLUG!). And this is where the wonders of technology take over CJAM.
A lot of people probably don't know that CJAM doubles as a recording facility. Not only do we have the ability to broadcast radio shows, broadcast live bands (within reason of course), but over the past few years we have built up a studio with the capacity to record a full band in a great quality recording. And why is this so important do you ask? Well, as CJAM is a community radio station, it wants to offer unique opportunities to the community. With the facilities up and running, CJAM soon hopes to get live bands in there, get the equipment recording and give bands the opportunity to record in a good quality studio for an affordable price. After a number of bands are recording, the idea of putting out a compilation CD or something along those lines could be in the works. The big picture of the whole thing is that CJAM has the opportunity to bring the community, the music community in particular, closer together and as a organization that is one of the main goals.
Back to the pre-recording. With these studios at our finger tips, CJAM DJs have the ability to record show promotions and pre-record shows so in case for some reason they aren't able to broadcast live, the audience won't miss a beat.

I really hope that we can do a Live from CJAM compilation. It's such a great way for CJAM to showcase local bands and help fulfill our community mandate.
By the way, I love "PLUG PLUG" as a tag.
