This is the first instalment of something new I'm trying for the blog this year. Nothing big, just something to do for fun. Through the magic of the Internet, I'm going to sample radio stations from all across Canada. I'll just randomly pick a city or town. I'll do a Google search for the local classic rock radio station in that city/town. On the station's website, I'll listen to the live feed for awhile. The blog posts will feature the name of the station, its number on the dial, the station's call letters and catchphrase (if it has one), and where it broadcasts from. I'll list the first few songs the station played while I was tuned in. I'm also going to try to note some kind of a local reference I hear while listening (for example: the name of a local business that runs a commercial during the time I'm listening).
I guess the name of this section isn't entirely correct. If you're listening to a station streaming on the Internet, you're not really getting it over the airwaves, are you? But the name was chosen to reflect the idea of visiting many radio stations across Canada.
I got this idea a little while back when I was going through some old e-mails. Someone had mentioned to me his morning drive to work, listening to radio station C103. So I thought I'd look up C103 and give them a listen, and that led to the idea of checking out lots of different Canadian stations. Most classic rock stations -- whether in Canada or anywhere else -- probably sound a lot the same, but we'll see. Since it was C103 that inspired this idea, it seemed to make sense to start there. So, here we go with the first CANADAirwaves:
| C103 - Moncton, New Brunswick (CJMO 103.1 FM) - "Moncton's Classic Rock" |  |
| Playlist while I listened: Big Sugar - "If I Had My Way" Local Reference: | |
