Atlantic Airwaves with Stephanie Domet

The East Coast Music Hour with David Myles is a new CBC Radio Program and web portal dedicated to Atlantic Canadian music and music makers.

A fan and friend of many east coast artists, David Myles enthusiastically shares his knowledge of music in this region with interviews and playlists featuring new releases and listener favourites. Audiences will be treated to an active program that will include signature events around the region.

The East Coast Music Hour with David Myles blends two former regional music programs, Atlantic Airwaves that aired in the Maritimes, and The Performance Hour, which aired in Newfoundland and Labrador. The program runs in the same time slots: Saturday morning at 10 (10:30 in Newfoundland) on CBC Radio 2, and Saturday afternoon at 5:05 (5:35) on CBC radio one - heard all across all four Atlantic provinces.

This week is the last week that Atlantic Airwaves with Stephanie Domet will be broadcast. So this show is a chance to say goodbye to many, many years of incredible programming on the show. Next Saturday you will be greeted with a brand new program called "The East Coast Music Hour" hosted by the great musician David Myles. So for our last show with Stephanie and with the name Atlantic Airwaves you'll hear two great concerts. Our new host himself - David Myles with appear with hip hop star Classified in a concert recorded live in front of an intimate and enthusiastic crowd.... and another pair - two of this regions' very talented singer songwriters, Stephen Fearing and Kim Dunn come together in a studio session that we originally live-streamed. Tune in Saturday morning at 10 a.m. (10:30 NL) on CBC Radio 2, and then at 5 after 5 (5:35 NL) in the afternoon on CBC Radio 1.
