On October 17th, 1955, the Calgary branch of the University of Alberta ran a 15-minute program called Varsity Vista on CFAC radio. Five years later, a campus radio club was founded. By 1972 an AM and cable broadcast had been added and the station was on-air 24 hours a day.

Then on January 15 1985, CJSW-FM in Calgary started broadcasting with the Talking Heads song "Once in a lifetime".

To celebrate their 25 years on the FM dial, the station is kicking off a year-round celebration. And the good times start this weekend....on Saturday, January 23 CJSW has invited some of the most beloved Calgary bands of the past and present, including Agnostic Mountain Gospel Choir, Tinderbox and Chad VanGaalen, to perform for the city's music fans.

Congratulations to CJSW-FM (who also recently moved into beautiful new studio and office space). Here's to another 25 years!

Today, the web-based radio station at Wilfrid Laurier University re-launched!

Radio Laurier has existed in other forms before but joined Wilfrid Laurier University Student Publications (WLUSP), a student-run media organization in May of 2009 and began revamping its structure and programming to become a professional campus radio station.

Included on the new station is content drawn from NCRA members across the country, posted on our Program Exchange. Congratulations and good luck to Radio Laurier!
