The 8th Annual CJLO Diego Awards Winners

Nicolas Fiscina, winner of the CJLO Lifetime Achievement Award

Named after a volunteer who has sadly left us (we miss you, Diego Ferro!), the CJLO Diegos is an annual awards ceremony that was created to celebrate a year of hard work and quality programming that our amazing volunteers put into CJLO 1690AM day after day.

It's a celebration of their dedication and tireless effort into making CJLO 1690AM a quality radio station, and a celebration of independent media and community radio at large.
