Would you look at that ...

Today October 5th 2021, officially marks twenty years of broadcasting on CHLY 101.7FM. Twenty years of broadcasting an eclectic mix of music, news, and local and syndicated perspectives.

We have a lot to look forward to in the next year, celebrating these past 20 years. This upcoming fall Fund Drive we'll be fundraising to cover the costs of replacing our main transmitter (now at least twenty years old), and improving our staff capacity to take on bigger projects at the station. Projects like that of our News Department, improvements to our music library, or volunteer training. Costs like equipment purchases to improve our ability to cover local stories, or keep our station running!

What can you do to support CHLY 101.7FM? Wish us a happy anniversary in the comments, tag a friend who you think should listen to CHLY, and if you're real keen on seeing us grow, sign up to be a monthly sustaining donor at www.CHLY.ca/donate to help us pay for our transmitter replacement!

We've got more coming down the pipe soon re: celebrating 20-years of CHLY, so stay tuned!

Jesse Woodward
Executive Director.

As is so often the cast with Frank Ocean, shortly after teasing his first new album in years, he has started rapidly announcing or dropping new tracks with little to no notice. Ocean first talked about an album of club-inspired music back in September, and over the weekend—at his PrEP+ club night,...

The NYPD sent a letter asking for five New York rappers to be removed from Rolling Loud, and those artists might be missing future shows. Is it legal?

On this day, 16 October 1968, African-American sprinters Tommie Smith and John Carlos raised their gloved fists in a Black power salute during the playing of the American national anthem as they were awarded gold and bronze medals at the Olympics in Mexico City. Smith would later clarify: “I wore a black glove to represent social power or Black power; I wore socks, not shoes, to represent poverty; I wore a black scarf around my neck to symbolise the lynching, the hangings that Black folks went through while building this country.” Following the protest, they were largely ostracised by the American sporting establishment. Time magazine on 25 October 1968 wrote: "'Faster, Higher, Stronger' is the motto of the Olympic Games. 'Angrier, nastier, uglier' better describes the scene in Mexico City last week." Sports journalist Brent Musburger declared "Smith and Carlos looked like a couple of black-skinned storm troopers". When asked about comparing them to N***s decades later, he stood by his criticism. Both Smith and Carlos were subject to abuse and they and their families received death threats. The Australian athlete Peter Norman, the other man on the podium, also showed solidarity with the protest wearing an 'Olympic Project for Human Rights' badge in protest of his government's 'White Australia' policy, and giving his gloves to Smith and Carlos. He too would also be reprimanded by his nation's Olympic authorities and was not picked for the following Olympic games as a result.
