At Evolution 1079 we shake up radio. You may have noticed that we look a little different and sound a little different. That's because we are! We're dedicated to experimentation and distinctiveness.
Part of our uniqueness comes from the simple fact we are all BCIT students. We are always learning and asking questions and we want to bring you along for the amazing ride.
Find out what our Evolutionaries are doing, see who's on air right now, skim through our produced shows, stay up to date on where we are in the community, and oh yeah, listen to our music.
Major label, indie label or no label!
We don’t play hit music, we play good music!
Where have we been? You may have wondered were everyone was? Well, that would be because at the station there has been pomp and circumstance playing with soldier like marching and flags waving. I think I even saw Tom Laird cry a little. It's time for us "newbies" to take the "reigns". and for the second years to say goodbye.... more>

Two epic interviews took place today.
One, a broadcasting legend that needs no introduction: the ever astounding Mr. Red Rodinson.
The other, the lovely mayor of our fair city, Mr. Sam Sullivan.
Which one will air tomorrow at 3:05???
I'm taking votes...
Today on Making Contact: UCFV's incredibly articulate Darren Blakeborough, professor of the Sociology of the Simpson's.
Darren talks about how the show is not one to be dismissed, but is one that should be discussed as it can be viewed as a reflection of sorts on our culture.
Thanks Darren for joining me!
Local author Chris Walter, CEO and bottlewasher of GFY press, has quickly become a force to be reckoned with in the underground literary world.
His novels are simple, yet complex, oft channelling Stienbeck and Buckowski.
His eclectic cast of lovable characters, and what a cast they are, are quirky and flawed, but undeniably human.
These elements combine to make Chris my all time favourite author.
I had the chance to sit down with Chris to disuss his life, his career, and Vancouver, particularly the DTES and the music.
Thanks again so much to Chris Walter!... more>
