Have you been hearing our new 3-minute news updates?

About a month or so ago, Spencer Medford applied to be a volunteer at CHLY. It took a little bit of time for us to follow up with him, but as it turns out, it was probably one of the smartest things we could have done.

It's your last chance to win tickets to the Vancouver Island Music Festival in the Comox Valley! Enter to win by signing up for a $5+/month Sustaining Donation to CHLY 101.7FM. As part of CHLY’s Listener Un-Drive, we have two pairs of complimentary day passes to give away, so your chances are pretty decent, and you support CHLY 101.7FM in doing so!

Donors get an entry in the draw for every $5/month they donate, so someone signing up for $10/month would get two entries. If you’re a current Sustaining Donor, you are automatically entered to win!

Events Calendar

 

Options:

1a. Record a 20-second PROMO for your event on our answering machine.

Call our on-air listener line at 250.740.1017 and leave a 20-25 second long message telling us about your event. This is probably the easiest way for you to get your audio recorded for us to play at CHLY. Your message should include the following:

  • What/Where/When the event is.

  • If applicable, how much the event is, and where to get tickets.

  • If applicable email: admin@chly.ca background music for the event.

See below for an example that we did for Gord Grdina at the White Room.

1b. Record your own PROMO AT THE STATION.

Like the above but recorded at CHLY 101.7FM’s studio. Email admin@chly.ca or call 250.716.3410 to schedule a time to come into the station to record a higher quality promo. We recommend coming prepared with a readable script that is roughly 20-25 seconds long.

2. Submit a show or event to our Events calendar!

We’re currently testing sending event updates out to our email subscribers to keep them in the loop for local events. Filling in this form gives us the information we need for our events page and social media updates, as well as on air promo for hosts to mention on their shows.

Please complete the form below

Please include both a description for our events page, as well as for promotion on the air by our hosts. We highly encourage you to offer 1-2 pairs of tickets for your event. These tickets are given away to our supporters and listeners and assist in a big way in keeping CHLY financially sustainable.
