    I tune in for the classical and jazz. Also great for new music that you don't hear on the other stations with great variety.

    There isn't a lot of stations that play jazz but the one's that do this is the best to hear it.

    I guess I can start by saying repetitive radio is pretty much what you get from radio in Edmonton…read morebesides CJSR, but this station takes it to a whole new level. I have the misfortune in having to listen to this where I work because no one can change the station. The morning hosts that aren't funny at all, and besides Terry Evans, Cory and Amy are next in line for talking way too much about their personal lives. Up (har, har) next we got the afternoon show. Gods below, people (and the radio station) claim Shannon has an infectious laugh, but anyone can tell when a person forces a laugh, and she is the Queen of that department. She tries to do these 'mix tapes' which are nothing but the same repeat garbage they would have played anyway. It doesn't help she often enjoys singing the last bit of some songs. yeah, if I wanted karaoke, I would visit Lee Gardens. Duncan is tolerable. Thank the gods I don't have to listen to this on weekends. Onto the music. It's tired, boring, repeats, oops! I mean 'Edmonton's Greatest Hits', of songs everyone has heard a million times. I don't know how anyone can enjoy listening to the same 3 or 4 tunes by Queen, Alanis Morissette, Rush, Nickelback, and the plethora of overplayed music at damned near the same time everyday. You could probably set your watch to it. All in all, now and then they will play something half decent, but it isn't worth it.

    So I'm sitting here listening to Up! as I write this review and glad they have stopped the All day…read moreChristmas music they used to play (now it's on another radio station). I started listening to this station when it first came on air and I liked it for a while and then went back to the other station I was a regular at and now back to Up! Jason and Kari's morning show is ok but not my first choice. I like listening to the Charlee Morgan and Robbin Reay shows from 9AM to 6PM. I feel like I know them but not too personal details. Robbin has the 4 o'clock showdown and you can vote between 3-4 for which song you like better. I'm not a fan of the evening DJ though as she seems to repeat herself with stories of her kids and husband, or random information she's found on the internet. She sounds like she would much rather be with her family than on the radio until midnight on weeknights and on the weekends. They have a No Way or Let it Play that listeners can suggest a song they don't usually play and people can vote if they want to Let it Play until the end. I like the music and most of the time it leaves me feeling Up!

    SONiC 102.9 is the freshest sounding commercial radio station in Edmonton. It is a Modern Rock…read morestation which means that no classic rock or current mainstream nausea is allowed. For the most part. They are owned by Rogers Communications, so they're not as "indie" as they probably want us to think they are. So unfortunately, bands like Green Day, Blink 182, and Offspring still claim squatter's rights on SONiC's airwaves. Garner Andrews' morning radio show transcends the other stations' wacky morning zoo crews. Andrews is laid-back and natural, and I enjoy his off-beat sense of humour. His "salute to substandard service" and the "Bring Back Pie" movement are funny stand-outs. Garner Andrews (to my knowledge) has never staged a sex act with a stripper and leaked the video online for publicity like another Edmonton morning DJ whose name rhymes with Ball Gown. One thing I don't like about SONiC is how they ignore their roots. There were a lot of bands from the '80s that spawned the type of music that SONiC plays, such as The Smiths or Hüsker Dü that the station doesn't ackowledge. They rarely ever play anything pre-1990s. The '90s are oldies for them. I know they're called "Modern Rock" but that's just a stupid industry adjective to describe a genre that we used to refer to as "Alternative." If you're sick of hearing "Stairway to Hotel California" on K-97 and the Bear is testing your sanity, turn it to SONiC. You will probably discover some new music that you will like.

    A good mix of classic and new rock, that pretty much describes "best rock". I like it! It gets to…read morebe a little boring and repetative but it's a good 'default' for when you're looking for something good. 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.
