CJLO is sending someone to Wyclef, why not you? - 2008-02-21 12:45:05
Ladies and gentleman, CJLO is giving away two prizes for Wyclef Jean’s upcoming visit to Montreal.

CJLO Picks Tops - 2008-01-02 13:15:25
As expected, CJLO’s third annual Staff Picks is a mixed bag of musical goodies from across the map. So much so that out of the thirty-one DJs who submitted their lists, no two #1 albums were alike. Of course, several of the year’s powerhouse releases resonated with the staff. Radiohead’s In Rainbows reigned as the most popular album, with The White Stripes’ Icky Thump, The Arcade Fire’s Neon Bible and High On Fire’s Death Is This Communion not too far behind. Other notables were CPC Gangbangs’ Mutilation Nation and Deathspell Omega’s Fas -- Ite, Maledicti, In Ignem Aeternum. With regards to 2007’s top shows, CMJ Music Marathon was a station favourite. The festival, which boasts over a thousand band performances at New York City’s hottest venues, provided an unforgettable experience for CJLO-ers fortunate enough to attend.

Exams and Eggnog; two things that don’t mix - 2007-11-28 14:28:18
The holiday season is upon us, which can only mean one thing: Exams. CJLO Radio would like to wish everyone the best of luck on their finals and a happy holiday season. Many of your favorite shows will be away for the next few weeks but don’t worry because just as many are sticking around. CJLO has a few things in the works for the upcoming semester, one of which is adding a daily morning show to the program schedule. If you think you’d make a good candidate, bring in an Application as soon as possible. Last but not least, we are always looking for miscellaneous helpers also known as volunteers. Spots are open in production, news and other odd jobs around the station. CJLO is located at CC-430 on the Loyola Campus, so come introduce yourself.
