Nothing new here. Country 105 has been #1 every year for as far back as I can remember.

I do almost all of my radio listening in the morning and I can't listen to CJAY. Forbes is such an idiot and there is so much yelling, which is the last thing I want to hear in the morning. I've been listening to Q107 for a while now, and it seems to be heading in almost the same direction, although not nearly as bad as CJAY. Maybe this will give them a wake up call to shape up.

CJAY was #1 for a long time. Now I listen to Fan960 or Fuel 90.3

Fan 960 during the hockey season for me

During the summer, it is locked on VIBE 98.5

I've switched from CJAY to X92.9 for everything except the morning show (I can't stand those idiots on X who make up the rules to their stumper question period as they go along, it really shows how little they know about practically everything). In the mornings I listen to Q107.

I'm dumbfounded at how Vibe is doing so well. I hate vibe with a passion, especially after that annoying facebook contest.

iPod FTW. Anytime I listen to FM radio of any kind, there's way too many ads.

uggh - as a born and raised Calgarian, I am proud to say I have never listened to 1 minute of Country 105. I think it must be all the people that come over from Saskatchewan
I prefer vibe or the new 101 station and of course the fan 960 during the hockey season

I listen to X92.9 but it's becoming mundane for me. They play the same songs repeatedly. How many times can I hear Tarantula in one day? Or, even better, when they bust out the retro it's always Nirvana. I think I'll likely switch stations again soon.

Fan 960 for me.

When they head to the annoying commercial loop I will surf around a bit.

For me it's a three-way flip between Country 105, Fan 960, and 660 News.

I've become hooked on FUEL 90.3

the morning show DJ's are just ok, but they play a lot of music which is why I'm listening. great mix of rock/alternative.

Fan960 during Hockey Season and 88.9 Shine for a good portion of the time otherwise.

I do like eurodance and trance type stuff as well but there is nothing in Calgary that plays that unless you catch 90.9 in those obscure times of day.

I was totally excited at the name for energy 101 but after listening to them for a few minutes I found out that they just play the same stuff as everyone else. Shine at least plays unique and christian music.

Well, I have a fancy car stereo that allows me to program radio stations into it. 12 to be exact.

I flip along all of em till I find one with a good song. Why do people become married to a radio station?

That said, CJAY92 and X92.9 are not programmed. Cannot stand either station at all. One is run by 16year old testeroids and the other is the standard pretentious alt rock station.

Fan960 at home always, at work we rotate between 107,90.3 or 92.9 for vareity though most radio stations tend to get repetative in their selction of music. Good to see next to no love for Vibe or CJAY both stations I find are just awful and pander to whoever they can while maintaining among the most repetative loops of songs I have ever heard.
