Granville gets the dirt on six Vancouver DJs as they take us to their favourite locales around town

Whoever said video killed the radio star? Well, it was a band called The Buggles. Who? Exactly. Radio is far from dead. In fact, radio is so much alive that it’s becoming increasingly popular, thanks to better-than-ever contest giveaways, social media interactions, broke-a$$ iPods (kidding!) and, most of all, the awesome DJs that make sure you’re listening to great tunes while sharing the latest news, gossip and laughs.

Here we chart a sampling of Vancouver’s DJ talent, each shot in their favourite Vancouver locale by photographer Christine McAvoy. Don’t be shy to post a comment below and tell us who we missed!

    I thought you are Brian Adams. You must be mistaken by lots of people.

    Radio is killing the video! Music Videos suck (generalization)! They usually have nothing whatsoever to do with the song. How is it that no bands have really tried to make storied videos that can artistically emphasize the meaning or the feeling of the song. I suppose there are a few out there. For every good video though there are 1000 trashy ones. Anyways, outside of the increasing number of ads between songs, I do like radio.
