What radio station do you guys listen to..
why and not..please explain
i usually listen to tsn 1040 or virgin 94.5

[Jmac]

1040, usually in the afternoon on the way home from work (especially if I get off late; love the Ferraro segment).

The Zone 91.3 is generally my go-to station in the morning, but I'll jump to The Fox or The Wolf if there's a song I dislike on The Zone or the weather isn't co-operating with The Zone's signal.

[radioman]

1040 and that's all.

[fliptuner]

1040 and that's all.

[Hondaracer]

Only AM, 98% of the time 1040, sometimes 980

About 10 years ago I worked as a delivery driver and one afternoon, not one, not two, but all three local "pop" stations had the same Britney Spears song on at the same time. FM radio died for me that day

Exact same thing happened to me with maroon 5 when I was back in 1998...

You must be into podcasts too by now?

[EndLeSS8]

I'm a old man now because I started listening to CBC Radio

88.1 FM

It's really good, I have learned a lot from it. It's pretty unbiased, and I've learned more about Canadian politics, east coast of Canada, and it's got very good interviews that are relevant and educational about Canada
Also, on the weekend, they have a lot of very good comedy programs on.

I really enjoy it a lot

[bcrdukes]

CBC Radio

[yray]

bloomberg :troll:

[Ronin]

1040 is the only radio station I listen to. Maybe 1130 when I'm on the road and want some traffic and current events.

Music on the radio sucks. It's probably 95% Taylor Swift. I'd much rather bluetooth my phone or tune into a streaming service like Songza or Rdio that isn't playing the same fucking songs over and over.

[EmperorIS]

CBC radio. News and social discussions are for real men.

How do you guys stand sports radio. Its just loser hosts talking about how these millionaire athletes should be could be playing.

[Presto]

I don't listen to the radio. There's too many voices that tell me what to do

/s

:troll:

[vitaminG]

AM 730 for traffic almost every time im driving more than 10 mins. used to like 1040 until brojake came on in the morning and i fuckin hate him. otherwise big into cknw. i like to get my news, traffic and weather in morning, then i switch on to my tunes.

dont listen to FM radio cant remember the last time i did. if im at work in a vehicle and i cant use my phone, then CBC, they have some worthwhile programming and at least provide some entertainment

[sonick]

The only radio I listen to is < 5 mins in the mornin when my radio alarm goes off.

+1 for 88.1 CBC Radio.

Early Edition FTW.

Rick Cluff is my homie.

Everything else is podcast. If no good episodes then News1130.

[Bouncing Bettys]

AM730 because my commute sucks, Team1040 in the car and Team1050 at work, CBC, and NPR when I'm closer to the boarder.

[Hondaracer]

i listened to NW and other "discussion" type radio a lot when i had more time, the way things are phrased and the callers who phone in are just as bad as the sports talk stations.

[CCA-Dave]

Mountain Phlegm and CBC is all we get in Squamish. But really, I don't listen to the radio. Too many ads, pointless banter and not enough music.

When I drive through Van, though, it's 93.7 JRFM. Mostly bro-country, but still good listening.

-D

[punkwax]

What's with the turds failing the guy for what might be his best, most legit thread? Fail stalkers... :rukidding:

For me, TSN1040 90% of the time, AM730 if I sense a traffic jam or 101.1 if I'm with the family as they can't stand AM radio :lol At least then I get to listen to rock and not some top 40 BS.

When I'm in the wife's van... top 40 all day err day :okay: unless the kids aren't with us (rarely) then she has some pretty good rap tunes on her iPod which aren't kid friendly.

[quasi]

AM 1410 all day everyday when at my desk. I can't stand 1040, hate Brother Jake in the morning, I don't mind B-Mac and Donnie later but at that time I'm usually listening to Dan Patrick which I prefer. I find the American Sports guys cover every sport where 1040 is only talking about Canucks and Lions, only so much I can listen to that before wanting to drive a penicl through my ear.

I used to listen to 1040 in the AM until 9 but once Bro Jake got on board I was all out. I refuse to listen to that toolbag, my 9 year old knows more about sports then he does.

[euromoron]

I usually flip between 99.3 and 102.7. CFOX is the only thing on in my car in the mornings (the Jeff O'Neil show is awesome), and I listen to The Peak in the afternoon mostly, either that or I play music from my phone.

Not a huge AM fan because I like listening to music, but whenever I do have it on I listen to 1040 or 1410.

[keifun]

AM 730 for traffic
QMFM 103.5 and Rock 101 for music at times
AM 1470 when I feel like a honger.

[IMASA]

Radio is pretty much locked at news 1130 for traffic and news.

used to love Jim Rome but he gets old, stopped listening after daily for about 2 years. Some of the best interviews i've ever heard in any medium though, the guy can really host

I've been listening daily since he started airing on Team, I like him but I know he's one of those like it or hate it type of shows.

[MG1]

730 and Z95.3

[twitchyzero]

I listen to predominately FM in the car ...only because I'm still waiting for a double din otherwise i'd be streaming already. I try my best to avoid morning talk shows on the pop stations...jeff o'neil is decent tho

104.9
95.3
94.5
103.5
99.3
102.7

[multicartual]

I banged Taylor Jukes and two cuties at News 1130 :)


Does that count???

[LP700-4]

I was flipping stations once and heard, in a short span, the latest (at the time) songs by Def Leppard, Shania Twain, and Bryan Adams... and couldn't tell which I was hearing until someone started singing. Mutt Lange made Shania's career and killed the others. :P

As to the OP, I mostly only listen to the radio when I'm driving, or when I'm on the shitter... usually 980, sometimes 1130 if that's boring (which happens more and more these days).

FM radio is mostly a wasteland, although I do get nostalgic with Jack sometimes. Classic rock stations just play the same shit - great songs that get boring after 10,000 repeats.

Other than that, CBC (both Radio 1 and Radio 2) are pretty good - at least they're not the same mainstream dreck.

The Debaters, 11:30am Wed and 1:00PM Sat. FTW.

Vinyl Cafe Stories is a hoot.

Randy Bachman's Vinyl Tap is a great way to discover new old music and a lot of stories behind it and the musicians. If you like music but you're tired of the same playlist over and over on regular FM...

[Soundy]

used to love Jim Rome but he gets old, stopped listening after daily for about 2 years. Some of the best interviews i've ever heard in any medium though, the guy can really host
He's a great interviewer, but he also has an amazing talent for taking a 45 minute segment and cramming it into a mere three hours.

[SpeedStars]

If we're including SXM in this, my order goes from ch. 53, 51, 10, 15, and 47.
But for local stations i usually just tend to 102.7 and bounce between 104.9 and 94.5

[Vansterdam]

93.1 red FM buddy guy

[Ford_Fanatic]

During rush hour I listen to AM radio for a few minutes to get accident reports and that's it. Rest of the day I listen to podcasts when I can. 3 Joe Rogan episodes and the day's prettty much over, lol.

[Inaii]

CFOX is all I listen to on the days I drive. If I'm shipping, I get stuck listening to Jack FM because my manager puts it on and refuses to let anyone change it. After 5 though my co-worker changes it to some AM radio talk show. It's got a lot of disturbing shit on it...

[sevewone]

Whatever my FM Transmitter is tuned for so I can listen to the MMPC and JRE and Duncan Trussel and some other shit like that. Oh and X929 in Calgary is good

Channel 103 if listening to the best Talk show host on the planet interests you.. And no im not talking about Stern.

[ae101]

am 1470, 1320 & fm 961 when im super honger-ish/twanger-ish

am 650 cuz my dad likes it & old music is nice

am 1130 cuz the news & traffic isnt bad

i use to listen to Xfm, old Z 95.3, the beat when it was 1st out, but i kinda give out on radio

[SpartanAir]

I never thought it would happen to me either but I find listening to CBC radio on my commute to work relaxes me. Listening to all the other radio stations irritates me because of all the commercials and they all play the same music. Also most of the time the topics are very interesting.

I also listen to CBC radio 2 105.7 from 8-10 pm for TONIC which is jazz music because it feels super soothing for those night drives.

Other than that I will flip around some other FM stations such as the Peak. My coworker had JRFM on and I must admit country isn't as bad as I thought lol.

Even NW, I find any more, the talk formats are following the same concept as the music formats - repetition, repetition, repetition. Where the hosts used to have mostly different topics through the day (plus one or two "hot button" topics), now it's pretty much the same playlist on every shift... and where you used to have the likes of Bill Good who was good at playing devil's advocate and never got into hysterics over anything... now it seems the hosts are all about stirring controversy: "here, we picked a subject, here's the station's position on it... that's what you have to work with. We always assume politicians are wrong and evil and we'll provide you out-of-context clips to back it up, so you make sure to flog it, flog it, flog it. No quarter given to dissenting views no matter how logical or reasonable they are."

Fuck, enough already.

[multicartual]

There is nobody on the radio or television worth listening to.

I enjoy listen to the news 1130 while driving or podcast. But when I'm at work, the radio is tuned into 95.3, 94.5 or 104.7FM. Those station drive me nuts! They play the same shit over and over. It's the same 10 songs they play every 30 mins. Don't they know people gets tired of listening to the same songs ? Why can't they play something new or different. They just love to beat the song to death until you feel like smashing your face against the wall.

Because short attention sp...oh look, squirrel!

[N.V.M.]

Stern Show, Jay Thomas, a lot of liquid dubstep.

[jinxcrusader]

I recently started listening to a lot of CBC R2; FM 105.7 from around 11AM til 2-ish for their classical stuff. It's a nice change of pace and I love the stuff the hosts talk about, following each classical piece.

I like hearing Jonny/Holly/Nira's segment in the mornings on 94.5

[thumper]

streaming internet radio mostly. capitol 95.8.

or anything good on pandora if i can get it.

100% agree, drex live is the worst culprit too. i cant stand that guy, all his feigned outrage and then belittles people with dissenting views no matter how reasonable or logical they are. after hearing them bleat on about the transit referendum i couldnt listen to NW anymore

Modern media is brain-dead.

And making blanket generalizations is also brain-dead.

Delivery driving, I'm usually on 101.7 out in Abbotsford. CIVL radio (Ufv's station). Very wide variety of music on most of the time.

[DEADBEA7]

The only radio station I listen to in my own car is AM 730 just to hear how shitty my commute is going to be every morning. When I have to drive the cars at work I hope to god the Satellite Radio is active otherwise I just turn it News 1130 or CBC Radio 2 in the morning to feel like a sir.

I really can't stand our FM channels :rukidding:

Talk radio is 100% agenda-pushed. They are told what they can and cannot say.

[Ulic Qel-Droma]

stream music on a music streaming service duh.

[MelonBoy]

Listen to the kiss radio 104.9.

Used to love the Beat with the kid show. After switching to kiss/sonic. He's been playing a lot more music and recycling his "talk" portions of the show. Its getting lame.

Honestly. If I wanted to listen to music. I would play it off my playlists or stream. Rather have him talk about current events and maybe thrown in a song here or there..

[PDA_86]

The ending song, "See You again" from Furious 7 was supposed to be a decent song, but the radio completely ruined it for playing 5 times every single morning.
