I'm not entirely sure how I got on CFAJ's mailing list, but every now and then they churn out a "newsletter" highlighting their programming - such as it is. This latest one contains an overview of their weekend wares, and I have to admit outside of the "Memphis To Merseyside" show which I've highlighted here before, I didn't realize how extensive it was.
See if any of these tempt you. Here's their list. (Unfortunately, most of them tend to air late and the station's signal is all but gone in the GTA after pattern change. So you'd likely be forced to listen to many of them online.)
