music for each program and you will hear a mix of traditional country, bluegrass, fiddle, and lots of Ottawa Valley music, with a high percentage of Canadian talent. They also feature a lot of live broadcasts from the Thomas Cavanagh stage, which sits in the middle of the building. Mike Cloutier, the tireless community fundraiser and “go to announcer”, hosts Kitchen Party Live on Saturday afternoons, a huge hit with plenty of seating for an in-house, live audience. Thursday evening’s “Got the Blues” show features Pat Watters. The talented local bass player shares his vast knowledge of the genre, both old and new, with special guests and a large audience. Valley Heritage Radio is available worldwide with its internet presence. Various shows throughout
the week offer everything from Yesterday Today – Old Time Radio with Lesley Galbraith to The New Oldies with Jason Marshall. A complete schedule of programming
is available on the website. In the fall, they feature live
broadcasts from different hunt camps throughout the Ottawa Valley during deer hunting season. There is a guitar or fiddle player in just about every camp out there! Valley Heritage Radio survives on a bit of advertising and a lot of community involvement and support. Well, it was my first step back
into a radio station in close to three years, and it was an interesting experience. The broadcast business is alive and well in the Ottawa Valley with Valley Heritage Radio, and hats off to Jason Marshall and his staff and volunteers who keep things moving in Renfrew County. And thanks to Blake Corbin for inviting me and my brother Jerry, to talk a little trout fishing. Tune in to 98.7 Valley Heritage Radio. But you may have to wait until June or July on the last Saturday morning of the month to find out how to catch a trout.
