This is the big reveal - my secret favourite radio station is CISL 650 AM. It's so good. Their…read moretarget audience is retired baby boomers, so they seem really oblivious to the fact that all my friends under 30 listen to it regularly. It's probably because all their music has been vetted by decades of time, which means they're digging up some real oldies gold. Be prepared to discover a world of classic pop that will blow your mind. Impeccable song writing and performances that far exceed that British Invasion of the 60s. They're tagline is "smooth and easy." Their talk programs are really funny to listen in to, although a bit too commercial-oriented in my opinion (they really want to sell old people some stuff!). The promos for them are hilarious though, hearing people with thick accents talk about how old people have NO IDEA how to save their money. I also regularly perform karaoke songs I hear on this station for the first time. All hits!

The most awesome radio station! Music is great and they have great opportunities for fabulous…read moreprizes!

This morning, I delayed an appointment because The Debaters was on the radio…read more SO giddy was I, that I sent a quick apology to my 11:30, hunkered down into my parked car, and spent a half hour voluntarily huddled on the side of the road, giggling over a coffee. And in that moment of pure radio gluttony, I knew CBC would be my #200. I'm a bonafide CBC radio fangirl. I know, I know... it's a hip and glamourous declaration indeed, but it's true. Maybe it was eight straight hours on every road trip out to Alberta; or the excitement of seeing those blue highway signs after 100km of no reception... or the summer that my cd player stopped working and I decided I was too "hip" for top 40's, instead hunkering down to the Q and As It Happens in traffic...somewhere along the lines, CBC radio one became less of a creature comfort or nostalgic outlet and more of a current obsession. Now on any given day, i'll check in to see what's what in Canadiana. As It Happens, The Q, The Debaters - all staples in my CBC fan book. But I suppose the thing I appreciate the most is the one-offs you stumble upon. Sure, sometimes there are dud programs... like the ones with the flowery poetry and the very enthusiastic someone manning a musical triangle... but often, i'll stumble upon a total gem. It might be a great yarn of a story, or something that reminds me of home; maybe i'll recognize someone, or stumble upon a local artist I hadn't heard of; sometimes it's Steward Maclean telling Dave Cooks The Turkey in the middle of the summer... the point is that it's a smorgasborg of art, culture and stories that I wouldn't otherwise seek out, but am better off for having heard them. And with world news on the hour and local every half, you can hear a grand yarn, catch up on the world, check up on what's down the street and learn how to be debt free in 60 minutes. Not too bad eh? So CBC radio, I tip my hat to you in the most enthusiastic of fashions - thank you for not changing anything about your programming long enough for me to reach an age where I finally appreciate it.

Apparently this station doesn't play music. 2:20 Finally some songs: David Crosby - Long Time It's been a really long time since I've heard this song. Pretty cool. April Wine - Roller Pretty standard classic rock, kind of dated. Journey - Don't Stop Believin' A song that almost everyone on this planet knows, but surprisingly don't know who sings it. Steve Perry is a great frontman. I once saw a 12 year old boy belt out this song at Talent Time, it was amazing. Odds - It Falls Apart Local boys, which obviously is the obligatory CanCon. Kind of stretching the classic rock boundaries. 2:38 Back to advertising. I'm going to have to stop, the ads are hurting my ears.

Is a Canadian FM radio station based out of the University of British Columbia's Student Union…read moreBuilding in the University Endowment Lands, just west of the city limits of Vancouver, British Columbia. CiTR is operated by UBC students and community volunteers under the ownership of the Student Radio Society of the University of British Columbia, an entity closely affiliated with UBC's Alma Mater Society. Shortly after high school I started contributing directly and indirectly to CITR. I have them to thank for really pushing me into writing about music and exploring what is beyond mainstream. I met some awesome DJ's, participating in working with some of the most awesome people, and even worked on air a few times. It was a very welcoming club on campus that allowed me to be a part of something that wasn't a sport. I did write for Discorder before branching out and doing my thing.
