I think many younger people do not think of CBC as up to date or current television, but CBC is…read moreactually a really good station to watch. 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.

I listen to this radio station every day !!! I absolutely love their content, including docs. I do…read morea lot of community organizing from art shows to human rights issues and when I call or try to get media coverage, they are there. Not always able to get on tv or radio but when I have it's for super dope or important things. The radio reflects the real people and what they think about so many things. 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. My cars station does not change from cbc and I'm planning on keeping it there :)

I have enjoyed global for many years. However, things are changing and good staff are leaving and…read morebeing replaced by people that cant even speak the English language so that I can clearly understand it. Not sure where Global is going but I'm off their band wagon and now support ctv local news. It's a shame.

I like all the news teams, but the morning show never fails to make me laugh. The four of them are…read moreso good together.

I am definitely a fan of CityTV. I think their news shows and breakfast shows are really fun and…read moreentertaining. Because of that though, I kind of view them as an amateur station because they are less serious and less professional when compared to a station like Global or CTV. But that doesn't mean that I love them any less! Their programming is pretty sweet too. How I Met Your Mother and Cougar Town are a couple of the funniest shows on TV right now and CityTV's got 'em! 30 Rock is also pretty darn good and The Biggest Loser is, of course, awesome. CityTV is a fun channel. I love it!

I really like CityTV. I choose this channel to watch my morning news because they have fun with…read moretheir broadcast. Breakfast television is filmed right here in downtown Edmonton and they really focus on local flavour. They have segments all around Edmonton at schools, gyms, shops etc. CityTV also has pretty good programming as well. They have shows like The Biggest Loser, Parenthood and Cityline. I really like watching local television and this is local television at its best!

This is a bizarre little television station. They call themselves "The Education Station" but some…read moreof their programming is not quite educational. For sure, some of their material is, and I think the majority of their educational programming is on during the day, when I am not watching it. Some of the shows I have watched on here that are not quite educational are "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" and "The Amazing Race" Apparently this station works with some universities and colleges to provide educational materials that the students need for their courses. This is definitely a weird little television station. I don't tune in often but every once in a while it will surprise you.

OK, I have to admit that this channel can be super cheesy but I still watch it sometimes. We all…read moreneed a little cheese in our lives! I used to watch Smallville on Access all the time. It's one of the few channels that had it on as a regular show. On commercial breaks, they used to have a cheesy commentary about the show and about pop culture. In fact, one of my university profs was on Access talking about pop culture! During the day I think it's mostly educational stuff for kids - homework help and stuff like that. They also have some great movies from time to time. Like I said, it's kind of cheesy but I still kinda like it!

No commercials. Unique programs…read more No creepy loud stereotyped DJs and no silly billboards around town. Independent radio - what's not to like? Something for everyone, funded by the public. 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!

Great place to volunteer! They are always in need of some help. This is a truly independent radio…read morestation run by people like you and I. 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!

I have long been a fan of CKUA radio. It is a great radio station with a wide variety of content,…read morefeaturing Alberta-focused content and all sorts of diverse shows. I came to this actual building for a tour of their music library as part of an Edmonton Public Library Learn Downtown event and was wowed about the purpose-built space. The music collection is lovely and there really is more space down here than I expected. This area isn't normally open to the public but it is essential for the DJs preparing their setlists. We also saw some really great old-fashioned media. I wish I could have stayed longer and seen more. I'm super happy to have been able to visit the music library and get an even greater appreciation for one of my all-time favourite radio stations.

I was in the CKUA building for Jesse and the Dandelions new record release. This was a fun space…read moreand the sound in there was perfect. They have a good vestibule area for people entering the building and for launch events this is filled with vendors. There was merch tables and drink options when we were there. No food but they had free snacks - hard pretzels and chocolate covered strawberries. Entrance Fee was $20 it's cash only. So don't spend your only money on a CD then head out to Jasper Ave to find a cash machine like me. Inside it's pretty and the twinkling fairy lights make the space really appealing. There is lots of room for high tables and audience seating, as well as standing area in front of the stage. A great space for about 80 people. Cool place to hang and watch live music.
