CJSR’s mission is to “enlighten and entertain our audience through high quality and diverse programming that constantly challenges the status quo.”
Our programming provides a voice for marginalized communities and perspectives from across Edmonton, a home for underground music, and a place to push boundaries in terrestrial radio.
Nothing on CJSR is like you’ll hear anywhere else: our programming runs the gamut from environmental news, to heavy metal, to underground electronica, to LGBTQ2S+ news, to organ music, to the latest from Eritrea. And everything else, too.
CJSR 88.5FM is located in amiskwaciy-wâskahikan, the city of Edmonton, which is on Treaty 6 territory as well as region 4 of the Métis nation of Alberta. In the spirit of reconciliation, we acknowledge that the land on which we broadcast is a traditional meeting ground and home for many indigenous peoples, including Cree, Saulteaux, Blackfoot, Dene, Métis, and Nakota Sioux.
