Patrick Meloche - Magazine Editor
Host of The Letter "B", every Saturday night from Midnight to 1am, Patrick is in charge of keeping CJLO's magazine fresh, interesting and grammatically correct. He loves electronic music, literature and dry wit. If you want to contribute to CJLO's magazine don't hesitate to contact him.
Joel Balsam - News Director
Joel Balsam heads the entire News Team. He is a fourth year double major in Political Science and Journalism. He once owned a cat named Aristotle Herodotus; a nod to both the father of Political Science and the father of Journalism.
Andrew Wieler - RPM Director
Andrew, host of Grade A Explosives on Thursdays from 4-6PM, started off as a DJ and then became Community Calendar Editor, where he writes and produces a one to three minute segment that plays once every two hours highlighting community events. He is also the RPM Director, overseeing all of the RPM albums that come into the station. Don't be fooled though, he can also chat your ear off about metal, indie-rock, robot uprisings, or industrial music.
Katrina Kuras - Metal Director
Katrina is the new Metal Director at CJLO. Every since she has found metal she’s been addicted to it and is always trying to find her next favourite band. She appreciates all types of metal and loud rock and supports the Canadian metal scene more so than any other scene. She is also the host of Break It Down, Thursdays 1-3pm and, in her musical opinion, the “more intense the better”.
Kelly Belfo - World Music Director
Sugarface Kelly, a.k.a Nene, is also the host of CJLO's longest running world music show Beat The World, Saturdays from 12pm - 2pm. A true music lover of all genres, Kelly comes alive when she is surrounded by good rhythms and positive vibrations. When she is not saving lives as a nurse, she is travelling the world discovering great food and music. Green and blue are her favorite colors and the metal monkey is her Chinese sign and element.
