I'm applying for a program slot at one of the local volunteer radio stations here in Cincinnati. The only prerequisite is that the program must fulfill a need not addressed by another local radio station, which won't be difficult at all. I thought I'd do a program featuring only Canadian music, since we're too far south to pick up any of the stations that Detroit (for example) can receive across the border.
I could use some suggestions (and, no...Bryan Adams and Celine Dion don't count). Sum 41 gets way too much airplay, so I won't be featuring them. Less Than Jake is a possibility; the band doesn't get much airplay here, but a lot of people seem to know about them. The Hip, Treble Charger, and The Watchmen get little to no exposure at all, and I wouldn't even have known about Chris (Brown) & Kate (Fenner) if they hadn't opened for The Hip last year.
I wouldn't mind showcasing some local talent, either, if any of you have bands. Of couse, there's no guarantee I'll get the program slot at this point, but even if I don't, I'd still like to hear about some obscure or unknown artists from north of the border. Thanks!
