Last year CJAM made the transition from 91.5 FM, where it broadcasted for over 25 years to 99.1 FM. This year’s theme is called “Watts Up: The Rally for Reach.” CJAM is looking to begin the process of a power increase in terms of wattage so that our voices carry further to you.
Revolution Rock goes in depth into the genres of 70s Punk, New Wave, Alternative, 60s Garage Rock and all related subgenres. Each week my show features obscure hard to find music as well as some new music that is not heard on normal mainstream radio. In addition to this Revolution Rock also plays a variety of local music on radio that is not getting airplay on the mainstream market. And in a nutshell, that’s half of what CJAM does.
The other half is anchored by CJAM’s interviews that question the answers as much as shows that truly debate. Offering real alternatives to the mainstream, we see the environment as it should be in a city that often doesn’t. And while we’re at it, we wonder what else could be out there. Beyond, so many of Windsor’s arts and cultural communities are represented that listing them would turn this into, well, a list. But suffice it to say that we offer shows in more than 10 languages.
CJAM has to ask listeners for support in exchange for providing this space. As such I ask that you consider making a donation to help this great programming carry further. You can make a pre-pledge donation to CJAM right now by:

- Dropping me an email at damn.that.television@gmail.com

PS:
In addition to this during CJAM's pledge drive on November 2nd, there will be the premiere of a documentary about the stations frequency change that occurred last year. Voice of the Underground will be screened at Phog Lounge (157 University Avenue West, Windsor, Ontario) at 9 PM. It is a FREE event, but it is also a pay-what-you-can event. Any proceeds that are made during the night will go towards CJAM's pledge drive in order to increase their signal strength. This is yet another great reason to support CJAM.
The trailer can be viewed below:
