Good radio station catering to audiences who enjoyed songs from the late 90s 'til the present…read more Very frequent rotation though on current Top 40 hits, but I guess that's the point of charting songs based on airplay. My concern though is how selective the songs they play. Not much country (not sure if they even played Morgan Wallen's Last Night with 16 weeks at Billboard #1 at its belt). Never played Kendrick Lamar's Not Like Us which was big in 2024, although being about Canadian Drake is obviously a reason.

We were either listening to CHFI 98.1 or CHUM FM. I associate CHFI whenever I visit my dentist these days. I listen to CHUM FM mostly in the mornings. Growing up, it was the Roger, Rick, and Marilyn show in the morning. Rick Hodge resigned. Roger and Marilyn continued until Roger retired. Darren B. Lamb joined the morning crew, but also resigned. Jamar and Marilyn were great, but he moved to the afternoon drive with Josie Dye. It's now Marilyn and David, which has also been great. Marilyn seemed like a permanent fixture and beacon of light for nearly forty years. She announced this morning that she'll be leaving the radio station and the morning program this summer. She has had a wonderful career. I'll miss her voice in the morning. After forty years, I can see that she wants to sleep in and do something different! I love listening to Ruby Carr when she starts her show at 9 am. I normally have a bunch of meetings throughout the morning, so I normally catch bits of her show. I also like Azalea Hart. She does nights. Sometimes, she's works weekends. Some format changes have been weird. There used to be a sixty-second news break. It has disappeared. There's What's Trending? It's not the same, though. It has more of an entertainment spin than news. Traffic reports continue, which I appreciate when I head into work on Wednesdays. I don't mind the music that this station airs. Sure, some songs are played ad nauseam. Eventually, it'll stop. I typically stream this station on my phone. Otherwise, if I'm in my car, the FM channel has this station as a favourite. (95)

I find that George Noory commands the night and blankets most good radio stations in Canada and in the US. I find the show exagerates issues alot and I think they could be made up i don,t know.What ever happened to Art bells new show called Midnight in the Desert? It didin,t have a long run on radio which I think its the result of George Noory. I think he is responsible for Art not being on the air.The weekend shows I don,t like maybe I might tune into Roy Green from 2 to 5pm but i usually don,t. The station has a pretty good signal but once past London Ont it gets weaker.I don,t know how far north and south and east it reaches.Anyways I get sometimes upset listening to Coast to Coast and wonder how they get there subjects and the people behind them. I have googled the shows guests and I do get reasonable results on those people. How creditable are they? I don,t know. So if you want to be disturbed this is the place and the station to listen to.

My husband and I were both avid listeners of 640. Since Ben Mulroney came on board, we have…read moreliterally stopped listening ing. He is angry, opinionated and self righteous. He becomes unhinged and insults the opinions of Canadians who don't agree with his far right attitude. His temperament and anger gives me anxiety just listening.

I'm a huge fan of their Monday to Friday drive to work and back to work shows. I love new and old…read moreCanadian rock/indie music so I was overjoyed to find that they play a ton of bands and singer-songwriter types from Canada and all over the world. They also play a pretty eclectic mix of old funk, classic rock, retro 80s and other stuff, which is majorly expanding my musical IQ. Unlike a certain other radio station that has been playing the same 500 songs on repeat for the past 15 years, heavy rotation at this station means playing a song once in the morning and once in the afternoon for about a month or so. Then it's on to the next new song. Bonus: they play tracks from the whole album, not just the singles. I don't actually listen to any of the other shows (I prefer to listen to CBC radio 1 than their classical shows) so I can't speak to how good they are. Frankly, I love that the station has such a great range in music they play, so that someday when I get over the trauma of childhood piano lessons, I will have a good station in which to enjoy classical music.

I avoid, or let's say, can't stand the pop-rock and news banter they have forced on us. I will…read morelisten to Tempo, but the oft repeated classical play list and breathy banter of the hostess puts it strictly in the background. Tempo is followed by Tom Allen at 1 PM, and we get one good hour of intelligent classical programming, like a combo of Goth and Kerr in the old days, before he sneaks in some light pop music and sets the stage for 8 hours of pop-rock with inane stale news comments. So, there is one good hour of classical programming, and a fairly interesting night line up of jazz and Signal until midnight. The rest of the programming is expensively produced drivel with declining ratings. Too bad we have to pay for it. edit April 4 2015. CBC 2 has improved their Saturday and Sunday offerings, with Pietro, Kathryn Duncan, and others, so I am upgrading from 1* to 3*. I hear that their ratings have tanked since the pop/rock formula came in. They could possibly regain their stature if they dropped commercialized pop format with stupid news comments that are stale by the time they get to air.

So I gave it four stars mainly because a) I don't want to be jaded to something just because I'm not too old to appreciate it and b) it seems sort of un-Canadian of me to hate on it.

Good Afternoon, I…read morehave some concerns with what I heard during your shout out segment on Friday October 2/2020 around 5:00-5:30pm time. Unfortunately your radio station distastefully allowed a listener to shout out covid 19 for "hitting the bullseye" which your host (Blake) confirmed they were referring to Donald Trump the President of United States (Our Allie) and said that was her favorite shout out. This is not what you should be promoting during these dark times when we should be sticking together and helping each other. WE ARE CANADIANS, THAT IS NOT WHO WE ARE! It is evil to wish ill and death on anyone nonetheless a world leader. I was so disgusted I could not let that go. We need to support EVERYONE who is suffering right now, those who are suffering with covid, poverty, addictions and mental health issues. We need to continue to set precedence and be the kind loving country we have always been. I think an apology is owed to the public and your radio hosts need to be better. We all need to be better!
