One of the oldest programs on 98.5 CKWR with a geographically dispersed listenership throughout the world connecting us via the internet. We inform our listeners about any local community news as well as news and information from our homeland Croatia and Bosnia & Herzegovina.

The Croatian Radio program is one of the oldest programs on 98.5 CKWR.

Beginning in late 1973-1974, producers Ivan and Kathy Radisic have managed to ensure the Croatian program was always on. During the past several years we have established a geographically dispersed listener-ship throughout the world connecting us via the internet. Throughout the two hour program, we inform our listeners about any local community news as well as news and information from our homeland Croatia and Bosnia & Hercegovina.

We also assist many less fortunate individuals that are in need of help for various reasons through the Croatian program and its listener-ship. With all my co-hosts and listeners, I am proud to offer my services and dedication to share our Croatian culture with the community and the world.

Finally, we would like to thank our listeners located all over the world who continually support us through acts and words of encouragement.
