Weekdays at 3:00 pm, you get to hear a wicked British tune on The Zone.

Coldplay, Joy Division, weird stuff, old stuff.

Pip pip, cheerio! Never mind the bollocks!


Number Ones
If it's been #1 somewhere, you'll hear it here.
Number Ones

Weekdays at 5:00 pm, we only play stuff that's been number one on some chart somewhere, and tell you the story behind it.

Nothing sucky, is what we're saying here.

Number Ones is brought to you by the fine folks at the Black Stilt Coffee Lounge . . . sit, sip, relax.


Your Picks @ 6
We'll play your tunes weekdays at 6:00 pm
Your Picks @ 6

Jeremy Baker takes a whole hour of requests, weekdays at 6:00 pm, via the Zone Phone (250-475-0913). So give him a call, request a song and there's a good chance you'll end up on the radio, too.

You can also e-mail: e-mail Jeremy your request.

It's all brought to you by Hothouse Pizza. Thinking pizza? Think Hothouse. Think inside the box.


The Ongoing History of New Music
Weekdays/Sundays at 9:00 am/pm
The Ongoing History of New Music

Sundays at 9:00 am and 9:00 pm, Alan Cross gives you The Ongoing History of New Music. He's a virtual encyclopedia of modern music, and one of Canada's biggest music nerds. Basically, we're pretty happy to have him around.

He'll tell you the history of your favourite new band, all about the Manchester scene, and delves into never-before-heard stories and interviews with Nirvana.

The Ongoing History of New Music is brought to you by Rehab Nightclub, 502 Discovery Street.


The Late Night Pirate Pick
Weeknights at 10:00 pm
The Late Night Pirate Pick

Every night at 10:00 pm, Pol Plastino plays you a song that never gets played on the radio.

Like, anywhere.

And it'll probably never be played again.

A killer accordion solo, MC Hammer album cuts, Richard Cheese . . . sometimes they're horrible and sometimes they're a hit.

Got a suggestion for a song you think is Pirate Pick material? e-mail Pol.


Modern Rock Countdown
Saturdays at 8:00 am & 4:00 pm / Sundays at 10:00 pm
Modern Rock Countdown

Every weekend, Jeremy Baker counts down the top 20 modern rock songs of the week. Good music, guaranteed!

Listen for it Saturdays from 8:00-10:00 am and 4:00-6:00 pm, and Sundays from 10:00 pm-midnight.

And it's all brought to you by Sitka Surf and Skate, 538 Yates Street.
