The David Marsden Radio Program
The David Marsden Radio Program, also known as The Marsden Theatre, broadcasts on Saturday and Sunday nights on Oshawa, Ontario radio station CKGE-FM and on their website www.therock.fm. Marsden's show has been on CKGE-FM since they became 94.9 The Rock in 2003. Originally, Marsden's show was on Thursday and Friday nights but it was switched to its current time slots in late 2009. Marsden is currently the only free form DJ on a commercial radio station in North America. Marsden's show is unique because he plays what he wants and he interacts with his listeners through The Marsden Theatre Chatroom on his website as well as his Facebook Profile page. Marsden has also used his current radio show to break new Canadian acts including: Slave to the SQUAREwave, Tin Star Orphans, Hunter Valentine and Hidden Cameras. His show continues to embody the type of radio that he created at CFNY-FM in the 1970s and 1980s.
