WeFunk is a weekly radio show held on Montreal's CKUT 90.3, McGill University's radio station in Canada. The show began airing regularly in 1996 demonstrating a fine stream of Funk, Soul, R&B and Hip Hop grooves from the past and the present, hosted by djs Professor Groove and DJ Static who are the creators of the show. In 1998 WeFunk expanded even further including an internet radio streams which eventually became one of the oldest continuously operating radio stream worldwide. Three years later in 2001, WeFunk was also featured in Apple's new iTunes radio directory, and that was how Alexander and myself discovered it by chance a couple of years ago. WeFunk has had a website for a number of years which has been taken care of by Professor Groove and offers shows for streaming. The website offers most of the show's history available to stream, starting at show 168, when it first started back in 2001. In 2007, WeFunk shows reached an audience of at least ten thousand regular listeners, but has always maintained a DIY, ad-free ethic by being consistent with its roots in community radio. On the 4th of November Professor Groove and DJ Static will be coming to Athens for the first time and I will be throwing an opening dj set for them
