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.

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!
