| - CJSW SLAYS. The only comparable station is X92.9, and even they're too 'big', with commercial advertisers. The Roadhouse advertises with them - barf!
On to the good stuff with a handy list. If you're not listening to your iPod, Sirius, or CD collection (I still have CD's in my car :S), then I guarantee CJSW will be your go to station from this point on.
1) Real DJS - and by real, I mean they sound like real people you can actually have a conversation with. Not super rehearsed, they don't use a sex-phone operator voice, they even make mistakes! Ooooo! Real = Awesome. :))
2) A huuuuuge variety of genres in their programming. Maybe some people really do want hard & classic rock all the time... not me! They play just about everything, that you actually want to hear. NO Meatloaf, NO Miley Cyrus :))
3) They are huge promoters of local & indie music, often having artists into the studio, and getting the word out about shows that perhaps can't afford a huge amount of marketing. Good deeds :))
4) Cool news! Actual news that I want to hear about. BBC in the AM, valuable twitter content, Top 5 tunes lists, event listings, and other bad-assery :))
5) Friendly Biz - a variety of other cool & local business's donate to the station, in order to be featured on the CJSW website, and then offer discounts to owners of the CJSW friends card! Clearly a great bonus for students, and other punters alike. Get a friends card by donating $25 to the station :))
This is independent radio at it's finest. Check it out!
