http://homegameradio.com/HGR/Home/Home.html Who: Rob Pingle<br/>What: Canadian Music<br/>When: Every Tuesday 8pm - 10pm<br/>Where: CFSI 107.9 FM<br/>Why: Blame Australia<br/><br/>Growing up in Windsor Ontario I was always leery of the over powering influences of American culture but at the same time it seemed most Canadian culture stopped in London and didn’t make the extra two hour trip to Windsor. I did my best to embrace all things Canadian and found solace in a Stompin’ Tom cassette tape I kept in my car as I traveled from St John’s Newfoundland to Port Hardy BC.<br/><br/>In 1998 I moved to Australia and heard the way through the amazing programming of Triple J radio, a national youth broadcaster. I knew that when I came back to Canada I would do my best to fill in the blanks on the Canadian music scene that commercial media were missing. For over eight years I hosted program called Home Game on the University of Victoria’s radio station CFUV. I’ve also haphazardly run this website for the past couple of years. <br/><br/>Now I’m happy that my love for Canadian music and Salt Spring Island have merged with the birth of CFSI 107.9 FM. My weekly two hour program will hopefully introduce you to new musicians from Salt Spring to St. John’s through their songs and feature interviews of local musicians and those visiting the island.<br/><br/>Links<br/>Home Game on Myspace<br/>CFSI 107.9 FM<br/>Triple J Australia<br/>ChartAttack<br/>Earshot iWeb 3.0.4 http://homegameradio.com/HGR/Home/Home_files/F1010008.png http://homegameradio.com/HGR/Home/Home.html 60 no Who: Rob Pingle What: Canadian Music When: Every Tuesday 8pm - 10pm Where: CFSI 107.9 FM Why: Blame Australia Growing up in Windsor Ontario I was always leery of the over powering influences of American culture but at the same tim Who: Rob Pingle What: Canadian Music When: Every Tuesday 8pm - 10pm Where: CFSI 107.9 FM Why: Blame Australia Growing up in Windsor Ontario I was always leery of the over powering influences of American culture but at the same time it seemed most Canadian culture stopped in London and didn’t make the extra two hour trip to Windsor.
