| - Every Torontonian with a bit of edge has a bit of history with the Edge. If you've ever liked bands that play punk, rock, or that radio-friendly alternative stuff, you've stopped by their station at least once to see a band play live.
The studio is street-level, and open to everyone. I remember being so afraid to open the door when I was younger, but it's really welcoming. They have all sorts of memorabilia to look at even when there's not rock stars in the studio itself.
As for the station itself...well they definitely target 35-year-old men who love Nickelback. That said, they do take on a lot of new, struggling bands, and they have a bunch of opportunities to get your music played -- from the punk show to the indie hour and everything in between. Personally I can't be bothered to listen to the station (a person can only take so much pseudo-pop-punk) but a lot of people like it, and a lot of the DJs are fun to listen to.
Except the morning show. If you love toilet humour and prank calls, then you'll laugh your ass off. If not...well, I'd change the station.
