I do miss the station.
If you want the easy listening format now, there's a station out of Vancouver called swish radio.
Or for the soft AC format, audacy.com has some stations and you don't need a VPN to listen.

SOWNY » CRTC Ponders New Newmarket Radio Station, But Where Would They Put It? » November 12, 2021 2:33 pm

I was talking about if the CRTC had a call, and a new station was launched.
I know puckering collage is a private school from the CHOP FM Wikipedia page.
You found the link to the CHOP website?
I could not find one.

SOWNY » CRTC Ponders New Newmarket Radio Station, But Where Would They Put It? » November 12, 2021 2:19 pm

they could put a station on 101.5, 106.1, 92.3 or 92.7 fm
but, I think the am band has more space.
North GTA needs it's own news/talk station

I love thear new format better then the old one.
But I like caribbian and afrobeat music even if I'am in thear demo.

Update on the format on CKFG.
they have a new slogen "great music is what we do"
They have new hoasts for evenings and mornings.
At the top of the hour, insted of saying intercity broadcasting they are saying a divisian of Cina radio group.
and now they have more of a focus on caribbian and afrobeat music and less of a focus on R&B and urban AC music.
I even heard a slogen "your caribbian music station.
and the 2 new weakday hoasts sound like thear born in the caribbian insted of being born in canada.
To me, the station has more of a real ethnic/afrocaribbian sound now the cina took it over.
hope they put ethnic programing on an hd subchannel if the appli for hd

SOWNY » HD Radio In Toronto » September 4, 2021 2:10 pm

I hope CHFI, CHIN, CJRT, CHBM, CHUM, and CKFG launch hd radio soon.
IT would be cool to hear what they use the hd output for and what subchannels they launch.
What are your predictions about the formats/programing that they will put on the subchannels?

SOWNY » whats happening with g98.7 fm? » September 3, 2021 12:49 pm

yes.
I think the arab population is verry underserved.
The only station I know that has arabic programing is east fm in scarborough.
What I like about there arabic program is that it's in english so that us non arabs can lurn about the culture and it's a better sound then the english pop music.
I have some arab friends so I'am used to the arabic music and I love it even if I don't speak arabic.

Hello.
it's past the licence dedline for neety prakash ray to takeover the station.
And intercity is still running the station.
When do you guys think neety's going to take over?
do you think he's going to change the name to cina/\?
Do you think there going to add programing in other languages like hindustani, arabic, twi and others?
My gess is that he will change the name of g to cina and have the afro-caribbian programing in evenings and arabic in the main dayparts.
