XFM 92.9 is alright.. plays alot of 90's rock + alternative that CJAY never does. Get alot of EMO though. All request sounds like it has potential but as someone already said, there'll be alot of the same stuff heard on other radio stations. I think there's a folk radio station coming soon too which might be interesting...

It's that CRTC law that forces radio stations to play 33% Canadian made music which means your chances of hearing Nickleback, 54-40, Sum 41, Avril Lavigne, Bryan Adams, Tom Cochrane, Tragically Hip, Our Lady Peace, The Headstones, etc, are high. That rule is actually starting to ruin some Canadian artists I didn't mind before simply because they are so overplayed. If it's legal a station should meet it's Canadian quota from 12am - 8am then go nuts for the rest of the day playing other stuff..
