stand up for what you believe in

I've never even listened to his show... I listen to my ipod or the fox. :)

*Edit: It's 99.3 in the morning and 101 the rest of the time. I can't stand Bro Jake anymore.

I can tell you straight up calling the station won't do anything. They've learned long ago you can't please everyone.

It's determined by ratings. And since his ratings are extremely high the station wouldn't get rid of him.

Or you could complain to the CRTC that he is doing something offensive, but since he hasn't done anything wrong you are out of luck.

And finally, you could change the station and support an on air host you like knowing that everyone has different tastes.

It's your opinion, honestly I don't listen to the beat outside of work myself (more of a rock man or CBC man myself).

And satellite radio is a great idea, and has a chance of being great and sustainable business in the future. If it's your thing I fully support it! I had a satellite radio during 2006. Wasn't my cup of tea though.

Radio (satellite or terrestrial) isn't the best media for everyone. But almost everyone still uses it on a regular business. Find a station that you enjoy and support it! Each station can't appeal to everyone.

Keep in mind a new FM station in Vancouver will arrive in the next year or two. And from what I've seen of the applications they look great!

i only listen to the radio when i'm in the truck or when i'm riding/at work etc when i'm in the US.
otherwise here in van i'm all about my creative 2 gig filled with pirated mp3s.

do you ever listen to my uncle scott regehr on CBC To. sports?
he covered world cup for CBC, doing live play by plays, the time differences damn near killed him.

i used to listen to the radio in canada but to be honest, it reaally blows compared to what i'm used to, shit son, even BOISE idaho had at least 3 GOOD hip hop, rock and country stations.

Keep in mind that there is a 99% chance that each of those stations is ran out an office in new york. All the on air people were recorded 1000 miles away, and played.

American radio has some good aspects. But there are a lot of negatives.

It relies heavily on Voice tracking (one person's show is recorded then broadcast across the country). That on air person might be considered best of the best (debatable). But what you are losing is local content. I grew up wanting to be involved in radio. I like the idea that the people broadcasting and working behind the scenes are the same people experiencing what I experience, going to the same concerts I go to. When something is not right in my city, I like the idea that whoever on air talks about it. I don't want someone in an office across the country telling me what matters.

It's a romantic idea I know, but it's also practical. Some of the smaller stations around Northern BC dabble a bit in voice tracking late at night. They're small stations and can't afford to have a 24/7 staff.

During the forest fires a couple years back a small town had to evacuate. But because it was voice tracked there was no way of telling the people. While this fire was approaching the on air host calmly talked about the flea market tomorrow. The door eventually had to be chopped down by the fire department and they went on telling people to get out.

Agree or disagree, I don't like the idea of hundreds of radio stations across the country broadcasting the same 4 people out of new york.

it's not so much the radio personality that i like it's the sets they play.
they just have better taste in top 40 if that's possible.

[-evil-duerr-]

if the radio must be on, im listening to the classic rock stations or cbc.

hold on....... the beat 94.5 is still around? i thought that was a distant memory only visited when in need of a short laugh....

edit: pink mustangs are a sin, and elise should never be a license plate unless its on a lotus.

[Carrie]

so bad.

[rawb]

almost a year Kid Carson free and it's a great feeling not to arrive at work thinking about how stupid Nira and him are.

i still really like a lot of the things the beat does, like the mix shows etc.

[Kraig]

LOL @ Carrie.

[rawb]

superlols @ him with the ever present hat covering baldness and mono-facial experession and shitty affliction shirt
