The Top 25 - Airs Wednesday nights at 8:00 PM (the only exception was when the show was moved a day earlier so it would land on Halloween - October 31st, 2006). The show counts down the 25 most popular songs of the week as voted by the listeners on CKDJ.net. Features on the show include 'The Dirt' where they discuss celebrity gossip, the "Sureshot" - a song that music director Dan Legroulx thinks will chart well - and 'Top of the Tops' where they give lists of the best of everything. The lists are usually arbitrary, decided upon by the hosts of the show, Matt McIntyre and Shannon Smith.
The Algonquin Show Airing from Monday to Thursday every week at 3:00 PM, this is CKDJ's only current affairs program. Students of the radio broadcasting program at Algonquin college go throughout the campus and surrounding community to find stories and report on them. Features of the show include The Algonquin Report, a news report at the beginning of the show; profiles, produced reports that are three minutes long; documentaries, produced peices that span over five minutes long; reviews, critiques of recently released movies, albums, video games or books and rants, where students get a chance to vent about things they have problems with. There are no set hosts for this show; the line-up changes from day to day.
