Campus community radio station CJAM will host and broadcast a live Windsor mayoral debate at noon Friday, October 24.

Over the past weeks, the station’s news team has been actively collecting questions of UWindsor students through social media; those questions will form the basis for the debate.

“We will be asking candidates only those questions that students sent to the CJAM newsroom,” says news director Zoran Kljajic. “The basic idea is to bring our news and information program, The Windsor Chronicle, closer to our local audience while at the same time paving the road to the new mayor’s office.”

He says the goal is to establish the station as a credible alternative news source.

“Voters and candidates should look to CJAM first,” Kljajic says. “CJAM has always been an excellent source of alternative music programming. Slowly but surely, we are also becoming a respectable news station with alternative angles on stories, competent in coverage on the local level as well as on the world stage.”

The station broadcasts at 99.1 FM.
