Description

June 7 Vancouver Co-op Radio (102.7 FM) began broadcasting the half-hour-long Lesbian Show every Thursday evening. The program discussed lesbian issues, profiled lesbian singers, writers, artists, politicians, and comedians, and featured a lesbian calendar of events. Produced by Sherry McCarnan, Gisele Perreault, Ann Russell, Connie Smith, and Silva Tenenbein, this was the first lesbian radio program in Canada. By March 1980 the Lesbian Show was running a tape service and had produced a six-part series, "Lesbians and Music."
