Page "Brave New Waves" Paragraph 1

Produced throughout its run at the CBC's studios in Montreal and originally hosted by Augusta La Paix, the show aired for the first time on February 6, 1984.

The first song it ever played was Simple Minds ' " Promised You A Miracle ".

In its first year, the show was briefly the subject of a police investigation into obscenity charges, when a CBC employee who disliked the show filed an anonymous complaint about an interview with underground performance artist Karen Finley, although the investigation was dropped by the police without charges.
