99.3 THE FOX.

THE JEFF O'NEIL SHOW

[AAnthony]

I spend less than 1 cd per month on Sirius Satellite radio, honestly i will never go back to local radio, it's just the same repetitive Canadian content garbage, and a few American "hits" thrown in

[The_AK]

anyways there are supposed to be prizes to be won with a grand prize of $10,000 to spend traveling around the world, not bad i gotta admit

From where downtown Tsawwassen?!

I live in Vancouver and it takes me at least 20 minutes to get into downtown.

[penner2k]

I have done downtown Vancouver to White Rock in about half an hour on a week day at about 9 am..

fucking hate that guy

playing same old shitty ass song over and over and over again x 1000

original the beat like 5 years ago was alrit


nothing beats 93.3 in seattle

[StylinRed]

wow so many people listen to the radio oO

if i have to listen to the radio i listen to 93.3 or that 106 or something... seattle stations, they come in alright

but 99% of the time my MP3 player

[TOS'd]

I spend less than 1 cd per month on Sirius Satellite radio, honestly i will never go back to local radio, it's just the same repetitive Canadian content garbage, and a few American "hits" thrown in

Do you get a lot of cutting out? Seems like anywhere I drive if i pass under a tall tree with lots of branches and leaves my signal cuts out for liek 2 seconds. Its so stupid, glad i didnt have to pay for it.

[krazynuck]

Totally agree with u....will never go back to radio...its a bunch of crap....half the time they just bitch about their problems....that is what the GF is for

Do you get a lot of cutting out? Seems like anywhere I drive if i pass under a tall tree with lots of branches and leaves my signal cuts out for liek 2 seconds. Its so stupid, glad i didnt have to pay for it.

i noticed that only recently.....ever since they merged xm and sirius....but i also noticed that it is only cetain stations that do that....possibly because they are on a diff satellite broadcast?

[TOS'd]

i noticed that only recently.....ever since they merged xm and sirius....but i also noticed that it is only cetain stations that do that....possibly because they are on a diff satellite broadcast?
mmm yea i noticed it mainly on ch50. what else do you listen to, i just discovered 38 since the brochure i had was probably outdated so it didn't list that station.

[winson604]

morning, night, anytime = team1040 all the way. Fuck the beat

[RTS]

Kid Carson reminds me of a retarded monkey who happens to speak and is constantly surrounded by cackling chickens.

Team 1040 or iPod.

[jmvdesign]

I have done downtown Vancouver to White Rock in about half an hour on a week day at about 9 am..

You wish buddy. There's no way you can get from downtown Vancouver and get to White Rock in 30 mins especially at 9 AM (assuming you're going by the speed limit). Unless you drive a Ferrari and managed to hit all green lights at 4 AM in the morning.

[03aspec]

all the local radio stations are shit. internet radio app on iphone = pwnage

Its only like 10 km from Vancouver to Richmond.. after that its all highway driving.. driving smart down granville and oak means it only takes 10 minutes to get to oak st bridge.
I wont deny.. I was going over the speed limit but so was everyone else..

[CivicTypeRice]

Anyone else think that Nira Arora has a cute laugh, kind of a turn on!

That sounded kind of racist dude. Im EI.

I don't know about that. There must be no traffic or you were speeding like crazy.

i agree and im ei too

[7seven]

Too each their own, but Nira is one of the ugliest females I have ever seen, she looks like a fucking alien, shes annoying and whinny as fuck, shes a cunt, I take a swing at that face with a 2x4

I had no intention of being racist.

[hotjoint]

best radio station is 97.5 in vegas. I stream it all day at work. www.kvegas.com :thumbsup:

[Adsdeman]

nira aurora i have hate towards, its strange. I dont really hate anyone but nira holy fuck what a feminist bitch (whine,whine,whine). Amy's sweet and Kid's a opinionated ass hole!

[Tapioca]

The Beat is basically talk radio in the mornings. There's nothing wrong with being opinionated, but whenever Kid Carson talks, he comes off as an uneducated douchebag.

In terms of talk radio in the mornings, CBC Radio One is really your only bet in this town.

[jigjag]

Not to offend anyone...
but the beat and anyone affiliated with it, is a tool. Including anyone that finds the morning talk radio entertaining, interesting, or even tolerable. I would call Kid carson a fag, but then i would be offending homosexuals. Nira Arora is a friggin retard, self righteous idiot who thinks her ish don't stank. Fact is, she's gotta be one of the dumbest ppl on the airwaves for real. On top of that, she's a super sell out to her race, but always plugs her "E.I" status when a related topic comes up on the news.

THE BEAT SUCKS, period. Honestly, if u still listen to that shit, give ur head a shake.

rock 101 in the am fo sho, or news1130 while i drive in to the office.

Cheers,
jigger

[Sp3cial_K]

How much does it cost to start a radio station?

lets do it.

[Alderbridge]

94.5 and 96.1 have the dumbest hosts ever

It's crazy how much battery it drains though.....it actually drains more battery than my computer is able to charge it....oO

I like how it sucks up so much data though.....it's fun to try to rack up as much data as possible.....:haha:

Press the sleep button on ur iphone while ur streaming it doesnt use any battery at all :). Just like if you're using your iphone to listen to music, put it in sleep mode and listen and dont touch it ;)

[you]

take pics or ban

u can count on it if i get in....its almost 230 and still no word from them:(

[411ken]

I agree with everyone. Kid carson is f'ng annoying as hell...
but a positive note, i do enjoy the "things that sounds dirty in sports but aren't".. hilarious stuff...

I just checked their site to see what they look like and "Nicole Sacco" looks pretty cute.. haha..she's on weekends.

http://thebeat.com/shows/nicole-sacco

[LemonH2O]

beat never beat my bills :2finger:

They beat mine :D the day after I dropped my $850 VISA bill off!

[kumbo1]

The beat sucks big cock. Back when it started, It was a pure urban hip-hop radio, similar to the stations in Toronto, playing Canadian underground tracks. Now they play bullshit Kelly Clarkson and Akon. Fuck the Beat. Stupid bitch ass programming director needs to be beat the fuck on with a bat.

[asahai69]

^ x2

[CivicTypeRice]

cube93 seattle FTW

[The_AK]

Went to the event today, it was actually pretty fun. Free chicken and rice from Nando's chicken (heres the Free PR they wanted) so that was definitely worth it too.

[rsx]

fox rocks.

[azzurro32]

used to listen to the beat tho but then got bored of same song every hour and found the fox. fox rox.

that or news 1130. but in the morning drive i do listen to kid carson i find his show entertaining at times

[Nightwalker]

Yeah, it was cool for about a minute. Fucking station went to hell.

I listen to The Jeff O'Neil Show in the morning.

[68style]

You guys are calling Kid Carson an uneducated ignorant asshole... and then in the next breath saying that the Jeff O'Neill show is the place to be? Talk about the pot calling the kettle black LOL!!! He's the epitome of the crotchety old man down the street who thinks everything was done better in the past and the phrase "come on man" is the best argumentative counterpoint that can be made.

[Roach]

You wish buddy. There's no way you can get from downtown Vancouver and get to White Rock in 30 mins especially at 9 AM (assuming you're going by the speed limit). Unless you drive a Ferrari and managed to hit all green lights at 4 AM in the morning.

It's say it's doable if you can get out of downtown quickly enough. Once you are off Oak St. bridge... going down highway 99 at a 140ish clip will get you to white rock in 15-20 minutes. Just getting out of Vancouver that is the hard part.

Agreed. Truly, I just want to listen to music. So I tend to listen to Crave. I'm beginning to like the variety they have and the lack of lengthy pop-culture discussions.

The beat has an awful programming director. Blame the CRTC all you want but there is no excuse for playing "There's a hole in my bucket" or whatever 6 or 7 times a day.

I'd love to listen to Kube93.3 but I don't have the slightest clue how you guys are getting any receptions.

Really, once the city goes wireless, I will find a way to stream my music using shoutcast or any website station. The variety will even trump satellite radio.

Kev

[penner2k]

Kev

At 140 km/h it would actually be under 15 minutes to White Rock.
Its only 40 km from downtown to White Rock

[CorneringArtist]

The Beat still has signs of its early days...late Friday nights, a couple of the in-house DJ's play urban hip-hop that would never be in that crap-pop day lineup. I wanna try Kube as well, but my clock radio either gets JRFM or Red FM.

And Crave is now Virgin Radio...

[Durrann1984]

She's an annoying EI bitch

that did sound kinda racist
and i'm not even EI

[yellowpower]

For the people that listen to satellite radio, which stations do you listen to?

[The_AK]

I prefer KISS FM sometimes (House/Trance/Dace Radio from Kiev, Ukraine)

http://kissfm.ua

edit* link to streaming radio: http://sradio.tv/stream/215.m3u

[wahyinghung]

I listen to the Bro Jake show @ work but it's not really my decision, but rather my supervisor

What the hell? 50 cent and the Black Eyed faggots not really underground.

[CorneringArtist]

^ There's lots of stuff that I'd never heard unless I listened that late.

My online radio source is di.fm - There's several genres of electro/techno/trance music on that site, and it had covered ASOT 400.

[Roach]

At 140 km/h it would actually be under 15 minutes to White Rock.
Its only 40 km from downtown to White Rock

You can't go anywhere near 140 in and around the tunnel. Too much congestion and police presence.

i hate how di.fm is very low quality for windows media player and basically forces you to listen from winamp, other than that its a good source too. I always hear a clip of a guy saying "digitally imported" during asot mixes too, haha

[silva95teg]

At 140 km/h it would actually be under 15 minutes to White Rock.
Its only 40 km from downtown to White Rock

140km/hr = 2.33 km/min

40 km = 17.14 min

Solution to get 40 km in under 15 minutes is to go 160+

[rslater]

At 140 km/h it would actually be under 15 minutes to White Rock.

More like 47 to 49.

[Sodium]

I love how this thread just side-tracked into two totally unrelated topics....

Anyways about the radio thing....I agree that Kube in Seattle is 10000x better than any stations here....they have actual DJ's that mixes on the go whenever.....not limiting to the top 20 songs a billion times in a row too....

[Supafly]

You can't go anywhere near 140 in and around the tunnel. Too much congestion and police presence.

lol...you would be surprised.....there was a group of 12-14 supercars going +180km/h through that tunnel (in mexico)........awhile back...

1130pm ish......

[411ken]

lol...you would be surprised.....there was a group of 12-14 supercars going +180km/h through that tunnel (in mexico)........awhile back...

How did this topic get to the Beat pool party to tunnels in Mexico.....

I don't think anyone cares about that..just post pics of the women hahaha

[Jermyzy]

All I remember is they once had a game on the Beat 94.5 called "mexican dude or mexican food" where they said a word in spanish and you had to guess if it was the name of a person or if it was a type of food, it was pretty funny lol

[JSALES]

the beat used to be good back in the day when it first started, straight hiphop now it's just gay with all the mainstream shit

[Gtrr33]

lol

[CounterPuncher]

lolOL but when you're driving to school / work theres really nothing better to listen to


Team1040, where the non-pussies that know how to play sports hang out.

Lets not joke, you don't listen to the beat for the music, if you do you're a top 40 cop out.

[goo3]

These are the ratings for Q1 2009 - a little hard to read, tho. Before the beat (cfbt) moved to top 40, they had a 3.2 share. Now they're #4. In a way, you can't blame them. Instead of blaming the beat, i'd rather blame Z for being such a tragedy of a top 40 station at the time. They left that door wide open for the beat to walk through.

And if you think Kid Carson and Nira Aurora are bad, you never listened to.. :Puke:Janice Ungaro and Clay St. Thomas.
