Shades of Classics begins its summer programming on July 5, which means there will be no Feature Work, Canadian Spotlight, or From the Archives Feature.  Instead we will be bringing you themed shows, artist features, and a "Blast from the Past" feature.  Please feel free to share your ideas for a theme, artist or album for one of these summer shows.  

Shades of Classics is being produced in my home studio before being aired on CKUW.  There are new and original programs airing each and every week.  Stay tuned for any updates on this situation.

And even though our funding drive (FunDrive) is over you can still show your commitment to Shades of Classics and your listener supported community access radio station by making a pledge online.  You can do this anytime securely on the CKUW website.
