A dying breed amongst radio stations? I hope not, but even CBC radio 2 has ads and plays the same pop tripe as every other station. CJSR, you truly rock!

Anyone can work at the radio station, you can even work on getting your own show! They have equipment and support, mentors and veterans who can help you learn anything you want about radio. I want to learn how to write ads for radio, record them and edit them. I want to learn how the gear is all setup, how to record a session when an artist comes in and how to be a DJ. All of this is available to me, all DJs are volunteers and pretty passionate about being there at all hours. They contribute in many ways, and are approachable and helpful. Want to work at a radio station? Want to learn to be a DJ and eventually get your own show? It's not that far away. Why not go on to an information session, and check out their website!

CBC focuses on Canadian issues and it is quite left wing in the political area. The news is really Canadian focused and many of the shows are Canadian as well. They have some good documentary shows as well. I really like watching Marketplace because it focuses on Canadian issues and I love when things are local. I wish more people watched CBC because it really is great television.

As Edmonton changes so do the people and this guys are keeping up with it! It does need a little more diversity but I think they are slowly getting there.

I think this would be the closest thing to Alberta's own station if there was one, great rock with a little too much nickel back. Generally speaking, It's grotesque. The hosts are great! The contests are worth listening to but I can't drive someone around and expect it to be appropriate.... Not a bad thing to listen to on my own but sometimes it's a bit much. I usually agree with Yukon's 'big yap' segment and it's often funny... Paul brown can be funny, at least he can make fun out of himself but I don't need to gag while I'm driving. Gillian Foote's a great co-pilot to keep paul in check but I think she needs some sort of baton or cudgel for him. Still an entertaining morning show, Im an avid listener

The Bear is a radio station for people that don't like music. If you hate silence while you're…read moredriving or at work but you can't stand country, dance, or "lite" rock, then The Bear is probably just the perfect amount of adequate for you. If you're entertained by cheap, immature publicity stunts, then you'll love Paul Brown's morning show. The Bear plays all the usual radio filler fluff like Nickelback, Green Day, Linkin Park, Nickelback, Nickelback, and Nickelback. I read that back in the late '70s, radio stations used to advertise "Bee Gee Free Weekends". Radio stations today need to implement such a promotion regarding Nickelback. In 1966, dozens of radio stations held bonfire parties for burning Beatles records. So far, no station (that I know of) has done such a thing for Nickelback. The Bear could gain a lot of street cred for this. Let's go! Anyway, the station plays a few classic rock songs too, but it's always the same obligatory "You Shook Me All Night Long with a Whole Lotta Love because there was Another Brick in the Wall" stuff. The usual. The only great thing about The Bear is Yukon Jack's "My Big Yap" segment. That is gold. I hear his commentaries and think to myself, "how can this guy work at a station that he should be making fun of?" If you're seriously a fan of rock music, get satellite radio.

Their tag line is actually "Safe and fun for the whole family." You can have the radio on and not worry about your kids (or someone else's kids) hearing songs that glorify drinking, drugs and sex. It's positive music. I always enjoy the morning show when I'm getting ready for school. You know those people who tell lame jokes and make puns but you still love them because they are funny in their own right? That's Johnny Rocket and Malcolm Hunt. They are so much fun! They always have great trivia and they always make me laugh. I've called into to Shine and they are as nice on the phone as they are on air. If you are looking for a Christian radio station, or a station that plays family friendly music, check out 105.9 Shine Fm. It's great!
