About CHUO
After broadcasting on cable and on campus since 1984, CHUO was granted an FM license by the CRTC, and settled in to it’s space at 89.1 FM on May 31, 1991. In June of 2006 we celebrated our 15th Anniversary.
CHUO is defined by our volunteers. These dedicated individuals devote their time to creating top quality programming, continually re-establishing CHUO’s identity.
Music, information, community. That’s CHUO
Erin Flynn: Station Manager
Round 4 at CHUO and still loving it! It is hard to believe that it was in 1996 that I first joined the CHUO team! I was Production Coordinator and we still edited on Reel to Reel with razor blades and splicing tape!Emmanuel Sayer: Program Director
Emmanuel has been involved in community radio since 1998 when he was a 16 year old running around the studio at CJAM at the University of Windsor on the 2 am to 6 am early Sunday morning shifts. After graduating from U of W in 2004, he moved to Ottawa and immediately started co-hosting on a show at CHUO for several years. He is thrilled to now be the Program Director at CHUO! You can reach him at programming@chuo.fm
Joni Sadler: English Music Director
Joni Sadler became involved with campus radio well before she was of age to watch many of her favourite bands perform in the venues of Victoria, BC. After hosting shows at both CFUV and CKCU, she took on the role of CHUO’s English Music Director. Over the past three years, she has represented the station at SXSW, Pop Montreal, and was a panelist on the Music Directors’ Summit at CMJ 2009. That same year, she was also the winner of a CMJ award for best taste in music. When she’s not busy hunting out new sounds and playing music of her own, she can be found working on her thesis in hopes of someday finishing her Master’s in communications at Carleton University.Bélinda Handou: French Music Director
Karen McHarg: Sales & Marketing Director
Karen is an enthusiastic community radio prophesier who can’t help but convince you of the power of CHUO. She claims community radio, and CHUO in particular, changed her life; but she was in India when she said that, so who really knows! Her passion is infectious and we seem to do alright with her out on the street drummin’ up sales to help the station pay its bills. Give her a call!
Jaques Junior Télémaque: Production Coordinator
Katherine McCulloch: Marketing Assistant

A Communications major and artist at heart, Katherine McCulloch became involved with CHUO at the end of 2010. This being her first close interaction with the world of music and broadcast, CHUO is a place she can proudly call home. She is a coffee addict, chocoholic, fashion junkie and social media guru who finds it hard to sit still. A Toronto native, she enjoys attending local shows and is especially fond of music festivals that showcase Canadian talent. She is grateful for how CHUO has opened her up to the music sphere and allowed her to discover many different artists and genres and gain a true appreciation for the Canadian music scene. Katherine enjoys making time in her day to relax by painting, cooking or reading music blogs.
