Our Mission
We're here for you
Our Mission
1 - Stress Relief. Do you know how frustrating it is to solve the worlds problems: and having some random dude standing in the way? It got frustrating so we're venting.
2 - To show you what we mean: We can save the world - in both fun and serious ways. So that's kinda stress relief too.
3 - To play our favorite rock music no matter the era - and not suck the life outta everything like mainstream.
Our History
We're here for you
Our Mission
The owner started in live radio in 1985 (and yes... we make fun of how old he is - even though he's not - and tells us that all the time).
The 'ending poverty and saving the world' thing started in 2012 - when we discovered we can end poverty and save the world.
Scroll down and click a show - you'll hear the result of us... knowing we can save the world... while Rome burns.
The morning show
We're here for you
We're here for you
Every day we can, we put together another show that discusses the solution we have, and let's people know that they're not alone in how monumentally stupid everything is. Every level of society is ignoring the simple, scientific, statistical reality: there are easy, affordable solutions to everything - we just have to address the fact we
Every day we can, we put together another show that discusses the solution we have, and let's people know that they're not alone in how monumentally stupid everything is. Every level of society is ignoring the simple, scientific, statistical reality: there are easy, affordable solutions to everything - we just have to address the fact we have a medieval greed/violence based system that doesn't work / never has/ never will.
We're here for you

Background on our station
Let's go back to when Dj's brought in their music... and did something cool
Once upon a time....
Back in 1985 - our owner Darin Howard walked into the Radio Station CKIQ in Kelowna, BC, looking for a job. The front counter person asked 'on air or off air?' Darin said 'On Air' - figuring 'what the heck?!'... and was hired almost on the spot.
In three days, he was taught how to pick the records, write down his logs, and make sure the commercials went in on time. He also learned how to do a weather forecast, and announce the sports scores.
After that - from midnight to 6 a.m. - Darin did what Dj's used to do - without one computer...
...he ran everything from news, to production and copywriting, and of course - music production - all 'by hand' - and on cue.
Today, we have 'digital perfect' - and Dj's that all sound the same, act the same, and have the same limited scope of conversation.
In an answer to the mindless, sterile and completely pointless radio stations... we bring you....
RADIO FREE CANADA BABY!
We don't run commercials for the big-box hell that's overcharging us for everything.
We don't make excuses for politicians lying, or run their political campaigns without asking a question.
In fact - we do the opposite.
We want you to be stronger, smarter, and we don't want you to buy anything....
*(except of course advertising if we could ever get our act together)
We don't run commercials - we run audio from cool people, and give you information
that's way more important than 'what Taylor Swift did today'.
We are doing that strange and wonderful thing we used to do in 1985.
We're going to rely on you being both intelligent, and human
We aren't going to be perfect
and we're going to speak our minds.
Headed up by Darin Howard, using old-tech vinyl when we can,

Tx for being here - so keep scrolling, pick a show, and turn it up!
It's time to do that real Radio thingy....
