CHEV Radio Station Update

The engineers were in on the weekend. They evaluated the equipment, installed some new wiring, took stuff out of the transmitter, and cleaned up after themselves. Bottom line: it looks like our equipment needs more extensive work then we thought.

Therefore, all shows and our live stream will be suspended until Nov. 15. We won't go back on-air (internet and hopefully radio) until every single equipment issue is taken care of. For the record, Nov. 15 is not set in stone. We might be ready before that time and we might be ready after that time.

If you any questions or comments, please contact CHEV Radio: 905-294-0033 or chevradio@gmail.com.

Thank you for your patience and understanding. Please continue to check our websites for updates.

Station Update

There will be a major studio and website renovation over the next few days. Engineers will be coming in to ensure that our equipment is in top working condition. We are also preparing a new website that will be launched very shortly.

Therefore, from October 31 - November 5, CHEV's website and live stream will be periodically unavailable. CHEV Radio apologizes for the inconvenience.

If you have any questions, please contact us by phone (905-294-0033) or by e-mail (chevradio@gmail.com).

Please visit our podcasting website for great CHEV content.

Where's Dan Deeley?

You're probably wondering why there have been few new episodes of Bring The Noise.

Well, Dan has a number of projects on the go and decided to take some time off to work on them. In the meantime, we're replaying recent shows and there is always our podcasts.

When BTN comes back on a full-time basis, we will let you know. Stay tuned.

Tonight: My Radio Show - 9pm-10pm ET, on www.chevradioam.com

NEW SHOW: The Complainers

Do you have a complaint? About your friends, your neighbours, the service you got, the price you paid, the school, the neighbours, the kids, the boss? Here’s the place to vent. One hour on a Friday afternoon where we’ll listen to your complaints. We’ve been complaining for years — and we’d like you to join us.Check back here for our upcoming topics. This Friday, July 6th, we’ll be talking about

• Tipping — how much of a tip should you leave?

Do you feel pressured to tip for mediocre service?

How about those tip jars that seem to be popping up everywhere? I mean, can’t we just pay for something without having to give our change back

How do you feel? Call us on Friday 1 pm. 1-877-242-chev OR send us an e-mail in advance: complainersradio@gmail.com

• Public space, private stuff –

hey, how do you feel when you see a woman breastfeeding her child in public? Does it give you the creeps, make you feel uncomfortable? Or, do you think it’s perfectly ok…maybe even beautiful. Don’t be shy, if you want to complain about either side of the issue, call us.

• To spank or not to spank –

were you ever threatened by the wooden spoon as a kid? There’s a growing debate about spanking these days — is it a parent’s right or is it violence? Call us and let us know where you stand on this issue.

Who are The Complainers?

We’re Anjali and Michele – two urban women who get accused of complaining a lot. Some even call us negative. But we’ll listen to either side of an issue. More importantly, we want to hear what you’ve got to complain about. Join us Fridays at 1 pm, on chevradioam.com or send us an e-mail and tell us what you think at complainersradio@gmail.com. Don’t be shy!There are lots of complaints to be made!

Listen to The Complainers on www.chevradioam.com: Fridays, 1-2 pm ET

Loaded shows

Dan here...

Checking in after a hectic Thursday show - a typical Thursday to me - and I've been very excited this morning about what's coming up over the next day or so.

Tonight's "The Ten" will be a re-broadcast as the boys are on vacation, but at 9PM EST we have "My Radio Show" with Matt Chin and Ricky Thompson. Both have a web talk show that you can access at www.myshowscrazy.com.

Tomorrow after BTN (9AM-Noon EST) we have "The Gonzo Report" with B.H. Ramsay at 12, followed by "The Complainers" at 1PM. If you have something to complain about this would be the place to do it.

Tomorrow night a 9PM, Suburban Bass checks in with their mixers and vinyl to bring you the best underground electronic music they have to offer.

Website traffic gets awfully hectic at this time of the week so we hope you can join us right here: www.chevradioam.com.

Where's BTN?

Well...

Unfortunately, our internet service was down this morning. In fact, the entire Main Street area had no internet. Regardless, we are back up and running.
