This Week on GR
by C. L. Cook
 This week tune in for the annual FunDrive, wherein we try to reach this year's goal of 25,000 big ones. Gorilla Radio's principles, me and Janine Bandcroft, are going off format to bring to you a compendium of information, music, rants, raves, and reasons you could and should support us and join the movement for better media and music on Canadian radio.
Listen. Hear.
Of course, we rarely blow our own horns, a practice even Diogenes may disapprove; but, buoyed by the recent emergence of Olympic games-inspired "in your face-ism," coming replete with the CAN-A-Duh chants of the mobs, I think it high time we forego modesty, take pride in our singular sincerity, and remind you loyal listeners just how dismal Victoria's radio dial was before CFUV burst forth, Promethean-like 26 years ago, and how easily it could return to mono-minded two-dimensionality without your intervention.
Ever since the long ago and fateful lapse in vigilance made by the CRTC overlords of the airwaves that allowed CFUV wiggle room on the radio spectrum, truth, justice, and the American way have all been held up to the piercing light of independent thought and scrutiny, and where found wanting exposed for all to hear. It's a mission the continuance of we're all here tonight to ensure.
