Add Q107 Classic Rock to the list of closings..
Sounds like today is the final day... taking requests and closing the doors today. The host is saying "the music will go on".. but confirms Q107 is done today.
Wonder what's next for 107.3 if anything.

107 could never find its niche here. We need a jazz station. Make it so, Corus.

Anyone heard anything recently on whether or not Bookers will ever re-open? Was our go-to for a number of years and have been patiently waiting on word of a new location but I suspect we've seen the last of them.

I didn't realize that Tarzan Dan was back in Calgary and working at 107. That guy has had quite the career.

Was it the KIK 107 that had the 4 pm Van Halen song and the announcer would yell it out ... "VAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN HALEN!"?

Had Q107 on in the car and heard the announcement. Then they played 2112 by Rush in it's entirety. Had to blast it all the way home.

KIK FM was probably my favorite incarnation of the station, it was never the same after that. Ironically my musical taste seems to have evolved to the point that Q107 had recently become my new favorite station again in Calgary. Oh well.

For the brief period it existed Rock97 was the best classic rock station we ever had.

What was the station in the late 80's that did the Top 8 at 8.
I want to say it was on AM1060, but can't recall.

AM106 had the Top 6 at 6 and the Top 10 at 10, but not the Top 8 at 8.

Which one did you listen to? What happenened if another station came up with Top 5 at 5? Was that enough time to get your abs workout in?

The Skyscraper crowd seems to have this weird personal entitlement to beautiful buildings and developments being built. It's not your billions of dollars at work having to pay for all of it. What happened on the York hotel is that the BOW was greenlighted in 2005, but the South Block was always a later development decision. When that decision needed to be made the 2008 financial crisis had frozen the capital markets and almost bankrupted H&R (Encana had sold the building at that point) and they were in no place to proceed with the South Block. Then once H&R recovered the Calgary market popped in 2014 never to recover . . . Somewhere there's a warehouse with the old York hotel façade packaged away brick by itemized brick, waiting for the day . . .
