November Plain AIR
Plain AIR is Artist-In-Residence Radio, broadcasting every Saturday from 3-4PM on 91.3 CJTR in Regina and every Sunday from 11PM-12AM on CFCR 90.5FM in Saskatoon!
Tune in during November to hear episodes produced by Saskatoon-based band Blind Commentary.
Blind Commentary is a shoe-gaze/emo-gaze/all-gaze band, based in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. The band's main sound of shoe-gaze is prominent, enveloping listeners in layers of dreamy fuzzy tones and reverb-filled guitars.
Tune in to Plain AIR in November to hear Blind Commentary showcasing music that inspires them, along with bands they look up to. They'll also be discussing their photoshoot & styling collaboration with local photographer Jaded Exposure and vintage clothing curator/stylist KarissaPreloved.
Past episodes of Plain AIR (up to 4 weeks) are available at CFCR’s online Archive at https://cfcr.ca/timetable/program/plain-air/.
Thank you to SaskMusic for generously supporting this program!

Youth Programming Update
Youth Radio Camp at The Recording Arts Institute - Summer 2024
Youth Radio Club is back in action! Meeting biweekly, we've already explored the station’s CD library to create genre-based playlists, used websites to discover new music, crafted themed playlists, and learned editing basics. We've also taken our favorite songs and transformed them into on-air segments. Tune in to catch our work on Youth Radio, broadcasting every other Saturday at 10 AM! If you know a youth who would like to join, please contact us at [email protected]
