Z95.3 now VIRGIN radio?
 

or was it CRAVE before?

obviously i haven't been listening to the radio and have been living under a rock. when did this happen? :confused:

A few days ago I think, they just bought em out. Sounds the same as Crave though

stopped listening to radio for years now
blowwwws

ya radio does suck...surprised to see that it turned to virgin radio as well...guess sir richard branson's still slowly increasin his presence in vancouver...if I listen to radio these days it's usually just team 1040.

i liked it when it was still Z95.3 =\

Name changed last Thursday at 4PM. The Virgin Group didn't buy anything. Astral Media (owners of Crave) bought the rights to use the name "Virgin" 953 from Virgin Radio International gaining access to a lot of their features and countdowns from the UK. This is the second Virgin radio Astral has launched in Canada. There is Toronto's Virgin 999 and over the weekend the flipped 2 more stations to Virgin in Montreal and Ottawa

He's not increasing anything in Vancouver. He has nothing in Vancouver other than borrowing Bell's network to run Virgin Mobile. Virgin Megastore downtown was a failed experiment. He realized he couldn't compete with HMV anywhere in Canada, sold it to them and left the country entirely. Plans to build one in Toronto has now turned into an Adidas store

Yea I just listen to my CD's, radio is boring and plays the same songs over and over again. I switch on and off from 1040 and my music

i like Virgin better than crave, something new and fresh

Crave was liek ehh...

Virgin sounds the same to me.... as long as they don't frickin play the same 10 songs over and over again like the beat, I'm ok with it.

no more crave? haha. used to be Z95.3. that was alright, but it was better wayyy back when they didn't play oldies

crave was like the old Z = good 90's music...and they dont repeat their songs often.

the newer Z was trying too hard to be like the beat = crap

virgin = unknown

its always been virgin radio, because it was only listened to by virgins and teenage girls lol.

they play house and dance music on saturday nights now :)

my friends sister bought the radio station
she works for virgin
its not the real owner that bought it

you know it's strange that our radio stations seem to have a turnover of a few years until they eventually change names and target demographics.

most cities' radio stations manage to hang around for the most part. i guess that says a lot about vancouver's radio market

fuck 94.5 and 95.3

faggot kid is annoying as hell



93.3 ftw, like seriously no repetitive stuff. and actually plays some decent music without retards blahing off and shit

^ 93.3 is not a vancouver station ?

:confused:

Unless it's 99.3, I don't listen to any local radio. Even then, I'll only listen to the Jeff O'Neil Morning Show and History of New Music segments. The rest of the time Ipod and USB control on my car stereo is good enough for me.

I think 93.3 is a seattle/washington station that plays urban music?

93.3 cube based from seattle. plays hip-hop/rap iirc

kube ^^ :D i miss it .. used to listen to it at work :(

you do know us Vancouverites can't listen to it anymore on the radio unless we travel about 30 minutes south past the border, and to listen to it on the internet it's blocked to all Canadians. Shitty deal for us thanks to the CRTC.
I miss it too.:(

lol we had cable or sattelite radio and we got it at my work. wasnt the regular radio or over the net.. ahh mornings with T man.. good times

im listening to 94.5 now...

fox rocks.
