Not too often, since it is a Jewish issues program. The call number is:
CKUT - FM, 90.3, out of Montreal, Canada. I do not know the exact hours or
days. Call the station at: Tel. 514-398-6787.

I already corrected this omission by posting to the discussion group. The
city is Montreal, both for Stan Asher's program and for Nachum Wilchevsky's
Jewish Hour on CFMB, on Sunday mornings. CFMB is an AM station, I am most
certain. The tel. no. of the station is 514-483-2362.

Are these shows predominantly Yiddish oriented, or do they include shows
that air many kinds of Jewish Music, Ashkenazi as well as Sephardi, Yiddish
as well as Hebraic?

To find out about these matters for sure, you could e-mail or call these
parties directly. Ted Warmbrand's show is a 'World Music' show; he'll play
Jewish music as well as folk musics of a large variety of cultures.
I believe that Hy Meltz gives predominance to Yiddish. I am not certain
about Mike Eisenstadt's show.

Pursuant to the above, it would seem that in the future we should all make
an effort to append to these citations a remark or two concerning  the
programming priorities involved.
