NOTES and INFORMATION
SHADES OF CLASSICS CONTINUES BROADCASTING
During this current crisis Shades of Classics will continue to air every Sunday morning on CKUW 95.9 FM, but your host will not be live in the studio due to regulations. We will still bring you original programs each week that are recorded in my home studio and aired by CKUW staff. Watch this page for future updates on this situation.
