Welcome To the Home of
A radio
program devoted to the music and memories from the 1960's. The Sixties
is not your typical "oldies show" - It mainly focuses on the lesser known
and obscure bands from that influential decade. You'll hear band profiles,
theme shows and your own requests. The show has been part of the
lineup on Canada's oldest community radio station CKCU-FM 93.1 FM in Ottawa
since 1984 and is still going strong.
It is available in REALAUDIO.
Tune In Every Sunday Night at 8 pm
Let the music be heard. Send in your 1960's requests:
Our next request show: Sunday,
May 18th, 2008 at 8 PM

UPDATE!
UPDATE! UPDATE:
Yes, it's about time for an update - and you're
finally getting one. New archived shows(at last) and a higher quality
stream. Live365 has revamped their system so you now get 96kb/s
streaming in STEREO. I've always offered the previous streams in
stereo, since the main CKCU live streams are mono. This gives online
listeners a chance to hear the show the way it was broadcast-and
the show offers many rare and hard to find songs and stereo mixes.
Sound quality has always been a priority with me and I try to offer
you all the best I can give you...and that my wallet allows. So,
new shows-better sound and a lot of great 60's tunes. All of it
wrapped up in a weekly hour long show. Oh, and don't forget I like
your input. Send in requests, theme suggestions and band features
you'd like to hear. I'll work on getting them on the airwaves(and
on the net) as soon as possible.

Looking for vintage radio Surveys/Charts:
One
of the recurring features on the 1960's is our radio chart spotlights-where
we focus on a vintage radio chart from a variety of regions across
Canada. I'm searching for any of these charts-and am willing to pay
$2 per chart(plus postage). I'm especially searching for Ottawa charts
from CFRA and CKOY-which include the Swingset, CPMI, & CMN charts.
I'm also looking for the weekly national RPM charts. If you have any
of these and would be willing to copy or part with them, please E-Mail me. |
