Surely there must be some radio buffs on the board that can shed some light on my curiosity.

A couple days ago I was stuck in traffic and started scanning the dial. One of the first stations I came across was 88.1 FM (yes, I'm the jackass that still listens to terrestrial radio). I lingered for a few moments because it was playing a Queens of the Stoneage Song. After that, the station went into Dave Matthews and then something I think was performed by Aretha Franklin. Pretty eclectic.

The only information I could find online about this station was that it is supposed to be Aboriginal Voices. I've listed for a grand total of maybe half an hour in the past few days and only heard a station ID twice. I've heard songs by Coldplay, Radiohead, Michael Jackson and some jazzy stuff from the 70s in addition to the artists noted above. Maybe I missed a Shane Yellowbird ditty in there but not once have I heard anything else remotely close to resembling Aboriginal programming.

Does anyone here know anything about who runs the station and what kind of programming they offer? Is the special Aboriginal programming just played during certain times of the day? Is this station going through a format change?
