Wednesday Is The New Friday

Looks like the boys from BTN decided to extend their "day off." The truth is Dan and Eric are taking part in a very important tutorial about CHEV's website. BTN will return on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, The Gonzo Report, The Complainers and Suburban Base will broadcast at their usual times today.

Have a great long weekend!

Walk for Justice for murder victims

On September 9th at 2pm B. Money AKA Money Man will be performing and participating in the annual Walk for justice for murder victims at Toronto’s Queens Park.

Although this event is in its infancy The Walk for justice has received extensive media coverage from several of the nations must popular and respected broadcast networks.

CHEV Radio's B. Money is uncomfortably familiar with the aftermath of murder and the overwhelming grief that is accompanied by senseless homicides as he has also lost loved ones due to violence. The Green Lable Inc. CEO/Recording Artist has volunteered to be the musical face of the youth.

Motivation, may in fact be the key to success, by encouraging, empowering and educating “at risk” youth through music workshops held at his Toronto based recording facility B. Money is one of the many local musicians that is valiantly attempting to reach out to the community.
This walk is open to the general public and to anyone who has suffered the lost a loved one due to violent crimes. “I formally invite my fellow Torontonians to come out and march for peace, walk for justice and lobby for change”

What a week!!

Wow! It's been an intense week so far - and we had Monday off!!!

First we started with Dan Deeley's "BTN" on Tuesday and was he pretty pumped in that first segment or what? He must have had a weekend he wishes he could forget...

Then Kate James unveiled her new show "INtrigue", which will be on tomorrow at Noon EST.

Dan again was at it this morning with his interview with Frank Irizarry, the host of foxsports.com's blogger show.

Then B.H. Ramsay followed-up with some appreciation for sports and the single people.

Thursday and Friday is loaded up with more BTN and INtrigue, followed by "My Living Room" with Cheryl Hoar at 7PM and then "My Radio Show" with Matt Chin, Ricky Thompson, Brown Guy and Caitlin at 9PM.

Friday is back to BTN and The Gonzo Report with B.H. Ramsay. At 1PM it's "The Complainers" and then "Suburban Bass" checks in at 9PM with DJ Dot Com.

We are currently taking applications for covering the Markham Waxers. Send to info@chevradioam.com.
