{{short description|Former Canadian music awards}}
The '''CASBY Awards''' were a Canadian awards ceremony for [independent](/source/indie_rock) and [alternative](/source/alternative_rock) music, presented annually by [Toronto](/source/Toronto), [Ontario](/source/Ontario) radio station [CFNY](/source/CFNY-FM), currently branded as 102.1 The Edge. CASBY is an acronym for Canadian Artists Selected By You.

The awards were first presented in 1981 under the name '''U-Knows''', a pun on Canada's mainstream [Juno Award](/source/Juno_Award)s. The concept was developed by [David Marsden](/source/David_Marsden), the program director at CFNY at the time, when he heard the Juno nominations announced on CBC Radio, and included was [Long John Baldry](/source/Long_John_Baldry)&nbsp;— who was newly resident in Canada but had already been in the music business for almost 20 years&nbsp;— as most promising vocalist.<ref>"U-Know awards make the move into the big time". ''[The Globe and Mail](/source/The_Globe_and_Mail)'', April 20, 1985.</ref>

They were renamed the CASBYs in 1985, after a listener contest.<ref name=festive>"A festive air to CASBYs' launch". ''[The Globe and Mail](/source/The_Globe_and_Mail)'', April 25, 1985.</ref> The 1985 ceremony, hosted by [Carole Pope](/source/Carole_Pope) and [Paul Shaffer](/source/Paul_Shaffer),<ref>"Shaffer, Pope hosts of awards show". ''[The Globe and Mail](/source/The_Globe_and_Mail)'', March 21, 1985.</ref> also marked the first time that the awards were broadcast nationally by [CBC Television](/source/CBC_Television).<ref name=festive /> In the first year, voter ballots were distributed exclusively by the Canadian music magazine ''[Graffiti](/source/Graffiti_(magazine))''.<ref name=return>"CASBY music awards to return". ''[Ottawa Citizen](/source/Ottawa_Citizen)'', April 2, 1986.</ref> In later years the awards expanded the distribution, printing ballots in a number of major market daily newspapers across Canada.<ref name=return/>

The 1987 ceremony featured a rare public performance by [XTC](/source/XTC),<ref name=xtc>"Casby show brings XTC out of hiding". ''[The Globe and Mail](/source/The_Globe_and_Mail)'', June 19, 1987.</ref> although their performance was videotaped in advance of the ceremony.<ref name=errors>"The CASBYs turn into a comedy of many errors". ''[The Globe and Mail](/source/The_Globe_and_Mail)'', June 22, 1987.</ref> That year's awards were also marred by several organizational snafus, including the wrong winner being initially announced for Album of the Year.<ref name=errors />

The award's bid for national prominence faltered in the late 1980s, particularly after CFNY's short-lived shift to a more mainstream music format also affected public perception of the awards' identity.<ref>"CFNY music boss tunes ear to the future". ''[Toronto Star](/source/Toronto_Star)'', November 3, 1989.</ref> During that era, some alienated listeners even picketed the awards ceremony.<ref>"Hit songs miss the mark for disgruntled radio fans". ''[The Globe and Mail](/source/The_Globe_and_Mail)'', March 17, 1999.</ref> Beginning in 1993 the awards were pared down to just three categories,<ref>"Take the Q, please". ''[Hamilton Spectator](/source/Hamilton_Spectator)'', November 25, 1993.</ref> and after 1996, amid a sense that the awards had effectively lost their purpose, the awards were discontinued.<ref>"CASBYs struggle for identity: CFNY's awards show used to have attitude. Now it's just a concert". ''[Toronto Star](/source/Toronto_Star)'', December 5, 1996.</ref>

They were then revived in 2002, and were presented each year until 2017.
