As of today, February 1, CKDU 88.1 FM — along with Pauly Shore and Boris Yeltsin — will be celebrating its birthday. The station is now 26 years old, and as part of the celebrations, the station is welcoming back old programmers to revise their radio show during the week of February 1 — 7. There will also be archival footage and old programmes aired during that week as part of the celebration. Fun fact: Two years ago I broke into my old college station at 2am and rebroadcasted a “greatest hits” rotation from my former radio show. It really is the greatest thing you can ever do — it’s like a music nerd victory lap —and imagine doing it legitimately! And sober!

Nice if it were true. Not all programmers, who have offered their old tapes and programs are invited. It’s only some.
