Brave New Waves

Brave New Waves

"Brave New Waves" was a Canadian radio program, which was aired weeknights from midnight to 4 a.m. on CBC Radio Two from 1984 to 2007. The show profiled alternative and indie music and culture.

The show aired for the first time on February 5, 1984. Its original host was Augusta La Paix. The following year, La Paix left the show and was replaced by Brent Bambury. Throughout the 1980s, "Brave New Waves" was an enormously influential and legendary show, providing many Canadians without access to campus radio with their main exposure to alternative music. When alternative rock became the dominant commercial genre of the 1990s, "Brave New Waves" kept its focus on the underground.

In 1995, Bambury left the program to become cohost of CBC Television's "Midday", and was replaced by Patti Schmidt, who also became the executive producer of the program. Schmidt remained the program's main host for the remainder of its run.

On January 17, 2007, it was announced that "Brave New Waves" would be removed from the CBC Radio 2 line-up as part of a rebranding of the network. [ [http://www.cbc.ca/arts/media/story/2007/01/17/cbc-radio-changes.html CBC.ca Arts - CBC Radio to broaden Radio Two, add arts magazine ] ] The program aired for the last time on March 16, 2007.

An album collecting live performances from the show, also titled "Brave New Waves", was released in 1991.
