28,543 music tracks played this year during the 18 hr reporting day.
6135 tracks were marked as new releases. (defined as within 6 months of the official release).
In aggregate the genres of the new music tell you a little about what you are more likely to hear on CHLY (songs of a feather flock together, so to speak). I can’t say that it really tells you much more than that. It is still a fun list to look at.

It is with great sadness that we have to report the recent passing of one of our original show hosts and friend Fergus Foley. His show Third Stone from the Sun was heard for the first 10 years of CHLY’s existence (plus another year on the internet before we got our license). Every week he took us on a folk/world trip around the globe.
Our deep condolences to his family and loved ones. He will be missed.
Slán agus beannacht leat Fergus
(Gaelic: Goodbye and blessings on you )

As our way of honouring his memory we will be playing highlights of his work on Third Stone on Saturdays from 2pm – 4pm until the end of the year.
