Bandwidth

About Me

Bandwidth is the Ontario CBC music program heard Saturday afternoons at 5:05pm EST across Ontario (except in Toronto). But Torontonians can hear it at cbc.ca/bandwidth if you tune in at that time.It's hosted by me, Alan Neal (the goofy guy in the picture, holding up a t-shirt that Amanda Putz found for me in Hong Kong).Bandwidth focuses on Ontario music, news & performances, and we're always looking for new & emerging talent.....so if you're in Ontario and want to let me hear your sound, drop me a line here...And you can always feel free to send along your CDs/press kits to: Bandwidth CBC Radio, PO Box 3220, Station C Ottawa, ON K1Y 1E4
