cc785aaa-c226-4c54-b84c-dd0c28e2a856 OUR DJs < Back Coyote Slim Coyote Slim is an Ontario native who started his music career at a young age by DJ’ing elementary school dances when he was in grade 7 and he continued to DJ events and clubs for several decades. His first experience in radio was hosting a weekly show on CRSC (Canadian Radio Seneca College). The Coyote is a guitarist, amateur singer/ songwriter and a passionate music fan. Despite being a full-time introvert, he has dabbled in theater and performed in several musicals such as “Paint Your Wagon” and “Annie Get Your Gun,” often as the comic lead. As a professional speaker his career has taken him around the globe and, despite an eight-year side trip to Alberta, he has always made his way back to the Ottawa Valley. He resides in the White Lake area and records at the Iron Raven Ranch studio. Coyote Slim hosts the Common Thread Show – a weekly show based on central themes where he endeavors to help listeners “watch” the radio by selecting music that “conjures up images in the mind.” He encourages audience participation and asks listeners to reach him via his e-mail address coyoteslim@valleyheritageradio.ca . In his words “the best part of my show is the listener feedback…getting requests, dedications and suggestions for show themes.” Program The Common Thread Show Coyote Slim hosts the Common Thread Show – a weekly show based on central themes where he endeavors to help listeners “watch” the radio by selecting music that “conjures up images in the mind”.

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.

eb19f059-3a6b-4f11-9e75-6d6ee2f7825f OUR DJs < Back Roy Berger Born and raised in Ottawa, Roy has been working full-time for the Ottawa Carleton District School Board as a Special Education Teacher since 1998. Previously, he worked as a Youth Counselor at the Roberts/Smart Centre in Ottawa. Roy first started volunteering at Valley Heritage Radio in 2012 as an occasional caller for Radio Bingo. Roy hosts Simply Country from 3 - 7 pm every Sunday. Roy wants to thank all the listeners for tuning in every Sunday afternoon. He is very honoured and privileged to have the opportunity to volunteer as a radio host on CJHR 98.7 FM. “Valley Heritage Radio is the best radio station that can be found anytime, anywhere or anyplace,” says Roy. Roy likes to spend as much time as possible at his cottage in the Lanark Highlands. On a side note, Roy holds two Guinness World Records for push ups. Most push ups in one hour (3,416) and most push ups in one minute (138). Program Simply Country What better way to spend a couple of hours on a Sunday afternoon than listening to the country music classics of years gone by. Roy Berger brings you some of your favourites, some songs you haven’t heard in years, and maybe some you’ve never heard – every Sunday from 3 to 7 p.m. Previous Next

80ba17a2-e523-4378-8c32-9f416ce43910 OUR DJs < Back Marion Eidsness Marion Eidsness is the host of the “Seniors in our Communities” program that is on air each week at Valley Heritage Radio, 98.7 FM. It is aired Tuesday during the noon hour. Marion draws on her experience of working in the senior service sector and managing volunteers in community agencies both in Saskatchewan and Ontario to come up with the ideas for this show. Marion and her husband moved to Renfrew in 2011 to be closer to their two sons and their families who live in Ottawa. A weekly visit with their grandchildren is a highlight. One of the benefits of working on this program, Marion says, is the knowledge she gains personally and the great people she meets that offer community support services throughout Renfrew County.

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
