2007 Programming and Management
Programming
The Playmakers - This show was broadcast every Thursday afternoon at 12:30. It was primarily devoted to sports talk such as hockey and baseball, but put an emphasis on local sports as well. The show was hosted by Pat Cashman and Dan Legroulx.
The Cinema - Thursday afternoons at 12:00. This half-hour show discussed recently released movies in theatres and on DVD, and occasionally delved into celebrity gossip. The show was hosted by Braden Adam and Nick Vilhan. It was previously hosted by Braden Adam and Kimberley Hopkins.
Beavers in Igloos - Thursday mornings at 11:00 from November until December 7, 2006. It was a showcase of Canadian bands. Other features included interviews and the "Canadian Killer Track", which was the top Canadian song on the station's Top 25 show. The show was hosted by Dan Legroulx and Stephen Gower. It did not return to CKDJ in 2007.
The Jazz Show - Mondays and Tuesdays and 9am. It showcased jazz from around the world, especially Canada. The show was hosted by Braden Adam and Paula Graham.
Around the World in 60 Minutes - Wednesdays at 9am. The show played different types of world music that would not normally ever be heard on other radio stations. The show was hosted by Adam Rochon and Steve Watson.
Born Under a Bad Sign - Thursday and Friday morning at 9am. Played blues from the past and present, specifically from Canada. Susan Young and Carly D'Amico were the original hosts of the show, although Amanda Vajda took D'Amico's place.
The Top 25 - Wednesday nights at 8pm (the only exception was when the show was moved a day earlier so it would land on Halloween - October 31, 2006). The show counted down the 25 most popular songs of the week as voted by the listeners on CKDJ.net. Features on the show include 'The Dirt' where they discussed celebrity gossip, the "Sureshot" - a song that music director Dan Legroulx thought would chart well - and 'Top of the Tops' where they gave lists of the best of everything. The lists were usually arbitrary, decided upon by the hosts of the show, Matt McIntyre and Shannon Smith.
The Algonquin Show - Monday to Thursday at 3:00pm, this was CKDJ's only current affairs program. Students of the radio broadcasting program at Algonquin college went throughout the campus and surrounding community to find stories and report on them. Features of the show included The Algonquin Report, a news report at the beginning of the show; profiles, produced reports that were three minutes long; documentaries, produced pieces that spanned over five minutes long; reviews, critiques of recently released movies, albums, video games or books and rants, where students had a chance to vent their views about things they had problems with. There were no set hosts for this show; the line-up changed from day to day.
Nepean Raiders Hockey - Even though the station went off the air every weekend, it came back on for a short period on Sundays at 2pm to do colour commentary on Nepean Raiders hockey. Pat Cashman and Mike way did the commentating.

Famous quotes containing the words programming and/or management:
“If there is a price to pay for the privilege of spending the early years of child rearing in the driver’s seat, it is our reluctance, our inability, to tolerate being demoted to the backseat. Spurred by our success in programming our children during the preschool years, we may find it difficult to forgo in later states the level of control that once afforded us so much satisfaction.”
—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
“The care of a house, the conduct of a home, the management of children, the instruction and government of servants, are as deserving of scientific treatment and scientific professors and lectureships as are the care of farms, the management of manure and crops, and the raising and care of stock.”
—Catherine E. Beecher (1800–1878)
