About CHUO

After broadcasting on cable and on campus since 1984, CHUO was granted an FM license by the CRTC, and settled in to it's space at 89.1 FM on May 31, 1991. In June of 2006 we celebrated our 15th Anniversary. CHUO is defined by our volunteers. These dedicated individuals devote their time to creating top quality programming, continually re-establishing CHUO's identity. Music, information, community. That's CHUO ▫ CHUO Strategic Plan (.pdf) ▫ Human Resources Policy (.pdf) Staff:
	Station Manager: Stephanie Kepman Steph Kepman may be pint-sized but she has ideas and energy to challenge a T-Rex. When faced with a problem, she refuses to back down and accept defeat. Instead, she kicks it in the face with her Docs. Steph got her start in radio at Dawson College, situated in the heart of her hometown, Montreal. Originally a DJ, this feisty lady quickly moved up to the position of Music Director. Now, with a law degree from U of Ottawa under her belt, she currently holds the position of CHUO's station manager. When not running CHUO, Steph enjoys taking candid photographs, traveling via Greyhound to visit her friends and family back home in Montreal, and being compassionate.
	Program Director: Dave Aardvark Dave is a long time fixture on the Ottawa music scene; no stranger to community radio having hosted the popular “Off the Beaten Track” show on CKCU & CKUT in Montréal for countless years. In addition to his radio experience Dave has been a tireless supporter of the Ottawa music scene in the capacities of musician, concert promoter and graphic artist; responsible for some cool LP covers and countless event posters over the last decade. Dave has a vast knowledge of all forms of “Organic” music, used to do a punk rock history show “Frustration, Tragedy and Lies” still holding down "OTBT" and is responsible for "Odd Coverages" as well.
	English Music Director: Joni Sadler Joni Sadler became involved with campus radio well before she was of age to watch many of her favourite bands perform in the venues of downtown Victoria, BC. Since moving to Ottawa, she has hosted radio shows for both CKCU and CHUO and has sprung herself upon the local arts community through her writing and photography. When she’s not busy promoting local talent through the airwaves or making noise of her own, you can probably find her either knitting scarves for her cold friends or perfecting the homemade oatmeal chocolate chip cookie.
	French Music Director: David (D-TRACK) Dufour If you ever scream "Dave!!" in CHUO’s office, you might have two sets of eyes looking your way: first off Dave Aardvark, but more recently David Dufour, the station’s french musical director. To avoid any confusion, just call him "David", "D-track" or "le gros" as people might say in his hometown of Gatineau. In addition to his position at CHUO, you can hear David’s voice as the host of the show "Au Coeur d’la rue" every Thursday night, or you might run across him at the university when he transforms himself into a communication student. If you like music then you will certainly get along with David!
	Production Coordinator: Hassan Hamdan Coming soon....
	Sales & Marketing Director: Karen McHarg Karen is an enthusiastic community radio prophesier who can’t help but convince you of the power of CHUO. She claims community radio, and CHUO in particular, changed her life; but she was in India when she said that, so who really knows! Her passion is infectious and we seem to do alright with her out on the street drummin’ up sales to help the station pay its bills. Give her a call!
	Jambo Director: Jean-Marie Vianney Coming soon....
	Marketing Assistant Director: Fabrice Wanji Nemzou DO NOT believe everything you will hear in the coming years about Fabrice... DO NOT fall for that, I beg! He was not brought up in Abidjan. No he is not the dude with the European flair always donning bright pieces of clothing. No he certainly is not the guy who has spent most of his post teen years travelling to and living in 4 to 5 countries across three continents. No that's not him you think of when in need of a good hear and some hearty laughs. And, he definitely is not as reliable and dedicated a person you will ever meet. Most of all he is not FABRAH!
	Programming Assistant: Pierre-Antoine Pacquet Rivard Coming soon...
