This may be overkill with all the like/dislike type threads going on, but I'm wondering what kind of demographic is on this board when it comes to CAlgary radio stations.
I really only listen to QR77, FAN960 & Q107. I like Peter Warren, Rob Breakenridge and don't mind Rutherford. Yeah I'm a rightie. Jim Rome is hilarious, Joe Sports has his issues, but I've bashed him enough lately, so I'll lay off him.
Q107 is the only bearable music station in this town.
I remember about 5 years ago, that rambling moron Gerry Forbes made some kind of child molestation joke on his morning show, and that was pretty much the last time I willingly listened to that station. If it's on in a pub, whatever, can't do much about it. The other reason CJAY sucks is because their format changed from classic rock with new rock, to teeny bopper Nickleback regurgitations over & over. I really don't like all these bands that sound exactly the same.
All I need is for Q107 to mix a little RHCP and some 90's grunge into their format & I'd be happy as a pig in (well, you know).
It was a sad day back in 2002 when I awoke to rap music on ROCK 97. I happen to like rap, but not when it's chopped up into a censored shell of it's former self.
Lite96 is great for my mom, but not me.
The EAGLE out of Okotoks isn't too bad, but there's a little too much 66CFR mixed into that one.
I've even caught myself listening to country 105 on occasion, but only when I'm 4x4ing late at night in McLean, because the reception is surprisingly good.
Like I said, the thread is probably overkill, but really it was a thinly veiled disguise for me to tell the world that Gerry Forbes is a buffoon who thinks that molesting kids is funny.
