This station is awesome. I listen to it every morning around 8:00 AM on my drive. I don't know if this programming lasts all day. The music is always excellent and eclectic and diverse. Tons of great 70s grooves and funk and indie and pop and jazz. I haven't even heard any commercials on it.

If this really is still Aboriginal Voices, whoever is running it has ridiculously excellent taste in music and isn't bending to the blandness of our backward Calgarian redneck radio paradigm that all other stations eventually fall into. It may be one example of someone taking Aboriginal funding to create something really great to express themselves and not boxing themselves into an ethnic stereotype of programming...at least during my morning drive.

I pretty much assumed it was some kind of college/university/student run radio or something because of the music variety and the broadcasters didn't sound like your typical Calgary radio #######s but more like the guys/gals on CKUA/CJSW.
