e6da9446-c06a-430a-a417-4bb659f5e91b OUR DJs < Back Geoff Patterson A hockey guy through and through, Geoff is a perfect host for the station’s hockey talk show – Rink Wrap. His passion and knowledge of the game at the local and pro level has translated into an entertaining and informative program each Wednesday afternoon through the hockey season. Geoff’s knack of finding interesting guests has helped to grow an audience of Ottawa Valley hockey fans who want to learn more about hockey from the grassroots level to the NHL and beyond. For close to three decades, Geoff has been connected to the Pembroke Lumber Kings Jr A hockey club, wearing many hats including PA announcer at the PMC, trainer, community relations and marketing director, assistant coach and assistant GM. And he is now the Voice of the Lumber Kings on all TV and radio broadcasts. You’d be hard-pressed to find a bigger Philadelphia Flyers on the planet, and the station expects to have Geoff on the airwaves until a job opens up for a radio voice in Philly. Geoff and his wife Laurie call the Cobden area home. Program Rink Wrap Tune in each Wednesday during the hockey season at 5 p.m. for Rink Wrap, the station’s hockey talk show. Host Geoff Patterson will bring you up to speed on everything happening on rinks around the Ottawa Valley and beyond. With Geoff’s connections in the hockey world, you’ll never know who he’ll be chatting with. The impressive list of people he’s interviewed on the show includes Sheldon Keefe, Bobby Clarke, Tim Kerr, Brian Propp, Bill Clement (see a pattern here, Philly fans?), Cassie Campbell, Bob McKenzie, James Duthie, Michael Landsberg, Jack Quinn, Liam McGuire, and the list goes on and on! And there isn’t a Valley person plugged into hockey who hasn’t been on for a chat. And remember – as Geoff likes to say, either you like hockey or you're wrong! Previous Next

Board Members < Back < Back Carole Mooney Director Carole joined the VHR Board of Directors in 2017, because she cares about the Ottawa Valley and is a fan of country music, especially local artists. Carole and her husband Darrell, who is a member of the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame with the Countrymen, can often be found at live music events around the region. And not too often is there a dance in the Valley, where you won’t find them singing along or spending the afternoon on the dance floor. So it’s natural that Carole wanted to do her part to help keep traditional Valley and country music alive and thriving. That’s why she has joined the Board of Directors. So she can make a difference.

534f1889-8307-4c91-9e67-1e3fd6a81d26 OUR DJs < Back John Fife It was a love of folk music that first brought John to the VHR family, as he convincingly pitched the idea of a folk show. His wealth of knowledge of the folk genre was evident from day one, and his passion for music and his sense of humour shine through every Friday night. Since then, John’s versatility as a program host has led him to host a country music show on Sunday nights, and you can often hear him filling in for other hosts on a regular basis. When he’s not on the air, John can be found watching baseball, or picking guitar, playing fiddle and singing either online or at venues in the Valley. John and his wife Barb now call Renfrew home. Programs You Ain't Going Nowhere You Ain’t Goin’ Nowhere is the station’s folk music program, so if you’re a fan of folk, make sure to join John Fife every Friday evening from 6 to 8 p.m. John will spin popular folk songs, and he’ll dust off the album jackets to play some tunes you may not have heard for years – or ever heard for that matter. As John says every week: Folk ‘Til You Croak! Reserve Me a Table Tune in every Sunday from 2 to 4 p.m. to hear a great mix of country music with your host John Fife. John loves his country music, and it shows! He’ll play a wide selection of country songs from Ottawa Valley, Canadian, American and other international artists. You’ll get a little bit of everything, including an entertaining three hours every Sunday. Be sure to reserve your table. Previous Next

c613d348-05ae-4e43-bdca-97823c62d2ec OUR DJs < Back Mike Cloutier With more than 4,400 hours on the air – and at least that in volunteer hours around the station – Mike Cloutier has been part of the fabric of Valley Heritage Radio even before the station went live for the first time. No stranger to being in front of the microphone as a DJ, Mike is also a musician and performer who played a number of venues around the Valley for many years. Mike was dealing with health issues in 2004 and stepped back from playing regularly, but he certainly kept busy. He coordinated the entertainment for Renfrew’s Lumber Baron Festival for many years, as well as the Heart Institute’s Catch The Beat telethon. Mike first hit the airwaves in May of 2007 – and he hasn’t looked back. He currently hosts Valley Saturday Night, the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame Show and the very popular Kitchen Party Live. And there isn’t a show on the air that he hasn’t either done – or helped train the host to learn the ropes. Mike can be found at most of our events, and is usually the first one there to set up – and the last one to leave. When he’s not at the station, he spends his free time with his wife Nancy (aka The Saturday Night Widow) at their Renfrew home. Programs Valley Saturday Night Host Mike Cloutier loves to hear from our listeners, and that’s exactly what drives his Valley Saturday Night program – listener requests. Almost every song each week is chosen by listeners from across the Ottawa Valley, and beyond, as they call in their favourite tunes – and Mike is the man to find them and play them. So if you have a song you’d like to hear, then give Mike a call on Saturday nights between 4 and 7, and you’ll likely get your wish. The show has also grown to include guest appearances from Mike’s wife Nancy (aka The Saturday Night Widow). Kitchen Party Live One of the most unique shows at the station, Kitchen Party Live is just that – a kitchen party that takes place live on the Thomas Cavanagh Stage each Saturday from 1 to 2 p.m. Since January 30th of 2010, there have been more than 140 live shows at the station that are broadcast on the air from our stage. Mike Cloutier hosts Kitchen Party Live and is booking bands months in advance for a chance to be part of this unique experience. Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame Show If you love Ottawa Valley music, then make sure to tune in every Thursday night from 6 to 7 p.m. to a program dedicated to some of the region’s top musicians. The Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame Show is exactly that – a show dedicated solely to members of the HOF. Join your host Mike Cloutier to hear some wonderful music, and the stories to go with the songs and tunes. We’re proud to promote and share the music the great Ottawa Valley musicians have to offer. A Little Bit More Everyone wants a little bit more and every Wednesday night at 7 p.m., guest hosts bring you an in depth look and an artist or band from country to rock to disco to easy listening to 50s and 60s rock and roll and more. It’s a great show – not to be missed. Previous Next
