1. Geez - more sour grapes!  What evil deeds could cause an entire city to hate a radio station?

2. I understand the new MH station is part of Rogers Calgary sales market. Call a Calgary sales manager for info

What's with the old school boom box?  Shoulda made it look like a huge iPod.

Yeah, sounds like quite a tall order doesn't it.  How about,

1.  Handing out those "cancer leaching" water bottles

2.  Contest where only those with dial phones can take part

3.  Free "purple kool-aid" at all remote broadcasts

4.  Free ad's for Stephane Dion and his message of 'Climate Change"

Wouldn't that defeat the entire concept of broadcasting???

Quoted from Revolution

Alot of those Rogers stations have become radio stations that are there to promote their website.  A friend of mine in Fort Mac tells me that 75% of their content is driving people to their "VIP Club", that is beyond cookie cutter, that isn't even radio any more.

He also tells me that the new Harvard Station there is on in every business in town and there is a serious hate on for the Rogers stations, so there really is no proof that they would be #1 especially if a book came out today.

I think the Rogers Fort Mac Rock station isn't being played in businesses because it is not conducive to that environment.  
Just because a station isn't being played at the Tattered Book & Coffee Shop or Safeway doesn't mean the station isn't being listened to or that the sales aren't high.  Would The Bear in Edmonton be heard at Memories Tea House? Never.
I wouldn’t say people hate CJAY because most businesses in Calgary have Lite 96 playing.
I wonder if your "friend" knows what station sales more.

I would have to say though, the fact that he says they are on in EVERY business and my bud works out at the Tarsands and he says they are all listening out there, in the short amount of time they have been on the air to get that kind of listener penetration is a sign.

From what I have heard the Rogers Rocker has changed quite a bit since the late OK days, toning down and such....classic rock can only stay fresh for so long, in turn the anamosity.
