This site is a listing of folk, blues, and jazz related shows aired on campus and community radio stations in Canada (and a few CBC shows, too). It is maintained by Melissa Kaestner (as passed on from Ian Gifford in 2005). If you find something that needs correcting (shows, spelling, stations, whatever!) or if you have a new listing then please email me at melissa.kaestner[at]gmail.com. A note from some campus and community radio music directors (other music directors and programmers may have different opinions and approaches): Artists/bands are encouraged to send releases to the station (Music Director) to ensure charting. If music only gets to the show hosts, then the release may not be eligible for charting, nor will the station have access to your recording once the show hosts move on. Artists are encouraged to contact the stations to find out their policy. Tips on how to get airplay: blogs at www.myspace.com/communityradio and www.myspace.com/digyourroots Charting: Campus and community stations report to a variety of charts and publications. The main publication for the sector is !earshot Magazine. !earshot maintains a weekly Top 50 and a monthly Top 200 spanning all airplay and genres, as well as a Top 10 for specific genres, including: Folk/Roots/Blues, Jazz, Electronic, Hip Hop, International, and Loud. !earshot also publishes music reviews and other music-related resources, including top picks from music directors around the country. It is published online as well as monthly in Exclaim! Magazine. !earshot Folk/Roots/Blues chart
