"Saved By Radio?" I hear you cry. "What a strange name! Tell me more!"

Then sit back, my friends, and you'll hear a tale...

Dawn Loucks and Jennifer Abel met at Calgary's campus and community radio station, CJSW 91 FM, in the spring of 2002. In the months that followed, the two found themselves at innumerable shows, marvelling at the wealth of talent that their city, their province, and their country have to offer. And more often than not, they found themselves wondering why these tremendous artists haven't taken over the musical world yet. In the summer of 2003, they decided to take action to remedy this situation. Thus was born Saved By Radio.

Then in 2006, they went back to their roots and celebrated the needle, the turntable, and the gatefold sleeve with their new Saved By Vinyl imprint.

The mission of Saved By Radio is simple: to bring excellent Canadian music to the attention of the world. It's music that will make you bust your sides laughing, or move you to unexpected tears. It's music that comes from the heart and revels in the strangeness and beauty of life. It's music that your friends and neighbours are making because they just can't help themselves.
