It was no April Fools’ joke when CJLS Radio crackled onto the airwaves back on April 1st, 1934.
Laurie Smith was the owner, and we first started broadcasting from the old Rodd Grand Hotel.
On April 1st, 2024, it will be 90 years since that first broadcast.

A lot has changed in those 90 years, in the world and on-air, but after all this time, CJLS, now called Y95-CJLS, is still a successful station that brings local news, great music and entertainment to the Tri Counties.
Our success is thanks to our listeners! Thank you for 90 great years!
Tune in on April 1st as we celebrate with old and new friends of the station and some broadcast throwbacks!
You’re also invited to drop by our studios on Main Street and see us! We will host an open house that day from 11am-2pm. Our annual food drive will also kick off that day, please bring a non perishable food item if you can!
We’d love to see you
(psssst: we will have cake!)
