CKUA
Radio Network: My
embroideries are created at home and I like to have a relaxed but
stimulating atmosphere for me to come up with new ideas. I get easily
tired of radio stations that repeat the same tune about 10 times a
day and only play the standard chart music.
CKUA
is a unique radio station where you rarely hear the same tune or
artist twice in the same day. They also pull music from all over the
world introducing the listener to music they would never dreamed
existed. They play 24 hours a day and you can listen over the
internet if you do not live in Alberta. |
