Virgin Radio has snagged Chelsea from the afternoon drive on Cisn and I'm thoroughly enjoying…read morelistening to her on the morning show now. Located just off Stony Plain Road in the complex that also houses CTV (across the street from Walmart). The parking lot is a little stranger and basically behind the building and off to the side (West if you are standing on Stony Plain Road and looking at the building). They have an intercom buzzer system here to get in, so don't stand at the door confused like me; come to think of it, I think this is the only radio station in town where I had to be "buzzed" in. They do tons of giveaways on air and some pretty significant ones, too. Like the current Spring KaChing where they give away 5K 5 times a day to caller 30 - Yep, it's that simple! Now, all I have to do is actually get through on the phone.

CapFM was my favourite radio station a few years ago. It was the one I would wake up to in the…read moremorning, listen to at work, and in the evenings too! Rob and Audie have their morning show and are veterans in the business. They should get rid of the Morning Mindbender though. They ask a question and have people calling in with their guess. With the internet, most people can just find the answer. I also liked Shane Michaels with the afternoon show. They have the Hall of Fame weekends and will play songs from featured artists. I became bored with the repeated songs, and found a new radio station that is now my main one. I will still listen to CapFM when nothing is good on the other station I tune into. They also have a great listener club that you can accumulate points and redeem for event tickets.

I was a mechanic for 10 years and we had K97 or Capital FM on the whole time in the shop,…read moreTerry/Bill/Steve show and Melissa Wright are what got me through working crappy 9+ hour days of work. K97 and Capital FM getting ownership from NewCap to Stingray in 2018 was a bust and canning Melissa Wright after so many years was a dirty move. Terry and Pete is an ad-filled snooze fest morning compared to Terry/Bill/Steve 10 years ago The worst part is the repetitiveness, every hour is the same garbage pop music by The Tragically Hip, The Beatles, and Queen. Every few hours you might hear something finally good off of Led Zeppelin IV or The Wall, then back to more repetitive pop music. It's not a rock station if you hear Stairway to Heaven, Comfortably Numb, etc once every 2-3 days yet hear Bohemian Rhapsody what seems like 4x daily. It's seriously a stretch to call "Here comes the Sun" by the Beatles, "Lucy in the sky with Diamonds", and half the whiny music the Tragically Hip play as rock music. You can clearly tell these guys are milking The Tragically Hip to hit CanCon minimums, 5 years ago they would play BTO twice an hour and now instead it's Tragically Hip twice an hour. Try playing Chilliwack, Streetheart, Prism, etc more to hit those CanCon minimums Only thing that makes K97 bearable anymore is Rock of the West at night when people request actual good music, otherwise I have Spotify on until 7pm

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.

The bounce is a hit music station in Edmonton. They used to be the only option for pop rock, hip…read morehop and current top 40 hits, but now we also have Hot 107 as well. I don't mind the bounce but like other reviewers have written, it has gone mainstream. I think this was destined from the start, but ahh well. The music isn't bad, but there is a lot that they play that I hate. I do like the radio personalities they have on in the morning. Pepper & Dylan used to annoy me a lot, but now I like listening to them on my early morning drive. Truth is, I switch back and forth between this station and Hot 107, but I prefer this station to Hot 107 because it has local hosts, unlike Hot 107 that has Ryan Seacrest hosting from god knows where.

The bounce used to be good and then it got so mainstream and annoying. I don't understand why they…read moreplay so much bubble gum pop music it feels like no one likes it. Don't get me started on the commercials. I feel like you have to wait 10 minutes before you get to hear a single song. They had a new thing going that was commercial free Monday's but I have heard commercials on Monday's so I am guessing that dream is dead. I think Hot 107 plays a better selection of music and they change it up from pop to r&b to hip hop often so it keeps things fresh. They also have less commercials. I think the Bounce might be losing steam.

But for the dj chatter during the day is literally a pre recorded show that hits the repeat button daily! Grrrrrr

I am not sure how I feel about this radio station yet. It is the newest pop music channel in…read moreEdmonton. If you have heard the bounce, this is pretty much the same thing with the same music. They play the same songs at about the same time and it probably isn't a coincidence. Each station probably fears losing its listeners according to which song might be playing. When it first started HOT 107 played 10,000 songs commercial free which lasted a really long time and now it is just commercial free Monday's (also like the bounce). One thing I do enjoy about this station is that they are on the air with Ryan Seacrest 11am - 3pm, Monday to Friday. I get bored of hearing the same old Edmonton radio hosts so I welcome the change. You can pretty expect much of the same from this station as the bounce. I do like how they compete against each other and that gives me more options now. If one's playing crappy music I just tune in to the next one.

Some people complain about EZ Rock, but it's really not that bad…read more It's probably the only radio that you can play in an office building or store that you can be sure will play the same kind of music consistently. All of EZ Rock's music is appropriate for audiences of all ages (which is why it's played in malls and such, and so is the commentary. They play some good stuff - oldies and contemporary music - that is laid back. They don't have heavy metal or rap songs making you jump out of your car seat. They exist to be a family friendly station that is relaxing and low key. They accomplish this goal very well.

A lot of people would probably describe EZ Rock as "old people" music, but I often find it very…read morerelaxing. The music is usually older stuff, but if it is newer, it is slower and softer than any of the stuff on The Bounce or Sonic or anything. I enjoy listening to the comforting music when I am driving in the evening. People can call EZ Rock "old people music", but if you're looking for something soft and comforting EZ Rock is the way to go!

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.

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.

They play a great rock, pop, and new wave music from the 70s to 2000s. One minute it could be KISS and then the next is Rick Astley! Every hour they have Cruz Control where listeners can vote on the website or app for the song of the hour between 3 songs. The app has concert information, song lists, and contests through their Cruz Club. They give away concert tickets, but they had awesome contests giving away 3 cruises; Caribbean, European, and the KISS cruise, and trips to Antigua! The radio personalities are great, and Claire in the afternoons often makes me laugh with her chat. She's really engaged on social media and texting too. Love this radio station while working, exercising, or in the car!
