The Ukrainian Program on CHIN Radio Ottawa 97.9 FM has been on the air since 2003, when the legendary Irena Bell launched Ukrainian radio broadcasting in Canada’s capital.

​

After 2023, the program’s format was slightly updated and modernized.

In February 2025, it was re-branded as "Ukrainian Wave" and began broadcasting live. 

​

Recently, a second hour has been added, and it is airing on Saturdays from 8:00am to 10:00am!

 

Today, "Ukrainian Wave" features contemporary Ukrainian music, news, weather updates, and community announcements about key events in Ottawa.
Unique interviews with special guests further enrich the program’s diverse content.
