Plain A.I.R. Archives
Announcing new Plain A.I.R. partnership!
91.3fm CJTR is proud to announce a new partnership with our northern Neighbour, 90.5 CFCR, Saskatoon Community Radio! Starting in January, Plain A.I.R. will be broadcast on both CJTR and CFCR! You can still tune in at 3pm Saturdays on CJTR to catch Plain A.I.R., but you can now tune in in Saskatoon at 11am on Saturdays. We will be alternating between Regina and Saskatoon
artists to share the magic of the Saskatchewan arts and music scene with everyone! We’re also proud to announce that SaskMusic has generously sponsored this program. Tune in in January to hear COSMOS with Micah + Peace, and hear them chat about interdisciplinary arts, and the intersectionality of the Saskatoon scene! Big thanks to our volunteer Plain A.I.R. coordinator, Holly Gilroy.

Plain A.I.R. (January 2021): Current Temperature by Hilarey Cowan
The Plain A.I.R. artist-in-residence this month is Hilarey Cowan, presenting Current Temperature. Current Temperature is an audio experiment in calming informational services. Stemming from a long-held interest in (automatic) weather broadcasting and in response to rapid growth in ASMR (autonomous sensory meridian response) content over recent years, this hour of radio aims to intertwine these typically discrete types of service.
Tune in every Saturday in January from 3-4pm to listen or head over at CJTR.ca after the broadcast for the show archive.
