Brave New Waves

Brave New Waves was a Canadian radio program which aired on CBC Stereo, later known as CBC Radio 2, from 1984 to 2007. Airing overnight five nights a week, the show profiled alternative and indie music and culture, including film, comics, literature and art. The show was once described by longtime host Brent Bambury as "explaining fringe culture to a comfortable mainstream audience," and by his successor [a1008888] as "invented with an idea of what John Peel's show was, but without ever having heard it." In 1988, the program also began recording live in-studio sessions curated by producer Kevin Komoda.
