Friday Special Blend on CKCU - 9 February 2007

The Friday Special Blend ... is a friendly, laid-back mixture of great music, live performances, interviews with filmmakers, musicians, artists and creators of all kinds. It's about the people and events of Ottawa-Gatineau. It's about the human spirit. Add to that some local and world news about social justice and the environment, and you're sure to find something of interest. Plus - as always - BBC News on the Hour.

Tune in to the Friday Special Blend, from 7:00 to 9:15 a.m., at CKCU 93.1 FM in Ottawa or http://www.ckcufm.com/ from anywhere. Tuning in from far away? We'll add you to our listener map -- simply send a note to info@ckcufm.com. Il nous fera un grand plaisir de recevoir vos commentaires, suggestions et idées.
