yes! i’m so totally excited. while driving home from work, i was pressing the scan button on my stereo because none of my pre-set stations were playing anything even remotely decent. the lcd display stopped at 101.9. i listened for a moment and thought “this is good. almost like jale.” i kept listening. the reception was a little fuzzy, so i thought maybe it was a seattle station i was picking up because it was a clear day. then, they played an ad touting it as “vancouver’s most hated radio station”.
hey, i’d never heard this, i thought. they’re playing good indie-type music. so i kept listening. i like it. i like it a lot.
so, being the geek i am, when i got to work this morning typed “101.9” into google and waited to see if this station had a web presence. and they do! turns out it is CITR – UBC radio. excepting the fact they play all the stuff i used to listen to five years ago, the reception is actually better at my house than my regular stations. long live independant radio!
i’m so jealous. minnesota radio sucks.
How ironic, I was just thinking about Jale te other day. Don’t think I’ll stumble on them any time soon around here!
