Sky Valley Radio

Sky Valley Radio is operated by Mike Cherry, who has been in & out of broadcasting for the last 33 years - at both commercial & campus/community stations. Most recently at listener-supported CHLY-FM Nanaimo B.C. Canada, Mike was hosting 2 weekly programs, a reggae show and a jazz show. He has an extensive background DJing at jazz, R&B and worldbeat/ethnic stations in both Canada & the U.S. Mike pioneered & developed Sky Valley Radio as a worldbeat station and as of 2007 has switched to a 'jazz-flavoured' format: "The Jazz Cafe".
