    "Jack I am your father". I was so over Vibe that I needed to find another radio channel so I am…read morenow trying Jack FM 96.9. Let's just say "more rock less talk" please. The commercials just keep on pouring out, and although it is not as excessive as Vibe, there is still quite a lot. I must admit I did like this channel at the beginning, some great David Bowie, Supertramp and New Order, they do mix it up but after a week of it, it has lost a bit of my fan ship. I do love songs from the 70s, 80s and 90s but after listening to Jack it's kind of like someone discovered the dusty cassette box in the attic and put it on, or the CD collection that hasn't been revised since the 90s. After awhile you just want to collect all this music and sell it at your next garage sale at 1.00 a piece. I love nostalgia, but the more I listen to Jack the older I am starting to age, I mean I ain't that old. I also love mixing it up with electronic, alternative, underground and some indie. But never fear I am sure my dial will find that permanent spot soon, in the meantime, I always have my trusty IPod car player.

    It's funny, but I've always thought of Jack FM as being my parents radio station. In fact, I'm…read morequite sure it's the radio station of choice for my mom. So it's only recently that I've started listening to Jack FM, which I suppose is a sign of my increasing age. To be clear, I'm still a diehard metal fan and listen to that almost exclusively. But Jack FM is great because it is always a pleasant trip down memory lane. I have never switched to Jack FM and heard a song I didn't like. They play the songs I grew up hearing around the house. Jack FM doesn't take requests, which I think makes them a better radio station. Their tagline, "Playing what we want", generally means they are dictated by the pursuit of playing good music, versus playing what everyone wants to hear. As a result, they have yet to disappoint my hears. So the next time your favourite radio station is playing that same song again, try switching to Jack FM. You may find yourself forgetting to switch back.

    Of all the main radio stations in Calgary, I find my dial tuned to X 92.9 the most. As a rocker…read moregirl at heart, I love to sing along and rock out as I'm driving. It's actually pretty dangerous. I like that X 92.9 is pretty eclectic, and tends to cover the gamut of my tastes. I don't really listen to the radio all that often, so I don't hear too many repeats of the same ten songs over and over. They play some classic rock, some metal, some punk, some ska, some indie, some current, a little bit of everything over the rock spectrum. I dig it. I like the personalities, I like the contests, and I enjoy the variety in genres that they have. The guys on air usually have some pretty funny raunchy jokes, or trivia tidbits about upcoming songs. But the commercials drive me crazy. I will channel skip at any hint of commercials. They go on for what feels like five minutes at a time. Just get back to the music already!!!

    X92.9 is definitely my top choice amongst Calgary radio stations. The music is the closest any…read moremainstream radio will come to matching my tastes and the personalities are, for the most part, entertaining and enjoyable. With that said, they aren't perfect. X92.9, with a few exceptions, are a top 40 radio station without the top 40 music. What does that mean? Well, it means that you are likely to hear the same song 3 or 4 times a day. Might not seem like a huge deal to most, but nothing drives me crazier than hearing the same song again, and again, and again and again. But how about those exceptions? Well, for one, they definitely offer more free tickets than any other radio station. And they make it ridiculously easy to win them. No stupid contests or trivia questions or reciting their top 12 songs. You get through, you win. Sometimes they will ask you some trivia question, but if you're wrong they'll still give you the ticket. After making fun of you of course. X92.9 also has a great community presence. They do a lot to encourage local bands and try to be part of the community. But they've had some difficulties on the community front as they tend to insult the community on air a lot. They also support The Doorway, a great local group that focuses on helping street youth get back into society.
