For all the Southern Ontario/Western New York fans, my show (talked about
earlier in the post) airs every Friday Night from 12-2 and now, saturday
nights from 12-6:am. The program is called Essential Groove and airs out of
Buffalo on WBFO 88.7 FM. Check IT out!
As for Toronto radio, I've only heard Vibes N' Stuff and the show is great.
The first place I heard the new Grand Puba, all the way back in MAY!
