While a few CKUA hosts will be off enjoying a holiday break, ’tis the season to meet up with some other radio friends, some new and some familiar! Expect to hear more from Priscilla Cherry, Joe Hartfeil, Kerry Clarke, Lionel Rault, Brendan Cross, and Dawn Pemberton over the holidays.
This year’s holiday offerings include festive editions of your favourite CKUA shows, with hosts looking back at their favourite releases of the year. We’ll ring in 2024 with a special New Year’s Eve Bash hosted by Kerry Clarke and Brendan Cross, and spend New Year’s Day counting down the Top 100 most-played albums of 2023 from 9am-6pm!
