Please tune in to Third World Players on August 17th at 6 pm as we remember and honor Lloyd Stanford. His program started as a segment in the early 1980s on Reggae in the Fields and eventually became its own program. Mr. Stanford was a valued host and creator at CKCU FM, and community member. He will always be remembered fondly.

For over 40 years, Mr. Stanford brought unique and valuable programming to the airwaves of CKCU-FM. Blending his passions, interests, and experiences, he created content that was sure to enrich the minds of anyone listening. A thoughtful and eloquent speaker, Lloyd presented and explored the arts of Canada, the Caribbean and the developing world in a way not found elsewhere in the community.

Most community radio stations, like us, have a goal to flaunt new music and showcase local talent - that listeners often wouldn't find elsewhere.

We have a unique ability to give emerging artists, hosts, and musicians a platform to get their voices and content out into our community, and beyond.

We do our best to partner with organizations and events who promote local and new music as well, building not only the music community here, but everywhere!
