Winnipeg to get a second CHR station

Postby Dan Sys » Thu Jul 28, 2011 9:00 pm

After 1 1/2 months of stunting Evanov's new station in Winnipeg will make it's official debut tomorrow (Friday) at noon. The station will be CHR branded as ENERGY 106.

Wikipedia is reporting that they will begin by playing 10,000 songs in a row.

Web site will be: http://www.energy106.ca/
which currently gives you a blank white screen.

Call letters are CFJL-FM.

There is a listen live link here:

Can't find a stream anywhere. The above link just takes you to the home page. Anybody?

Whoa....it was there earlier this morning. But now it appears that http://www.fm106winnipeg.com/ just points to http://www.energy106.ca/.

The station should have launched by now. 12:15 in the 'Peg at this moment.

Question: Would it be reasonable to expect at the time a station launches, that their website also be ready to go and to have a link for live streaming? After all, 'radio' isn't just a spot on the dial anymore...a station's website should be a big part of who they are and what they do, should it not? Just my thoughts...

So, if I'm not mistaken, Hot 103's longtime slogan is "Winnipeg's #1 Hit Music Station."

This station's slogan is "Winnipeg's NEW #1 Hit Music Station."

Classy.

On the air for just over three hours and number one already? Amazing... :)

Gee, that's too bad to see them on 106.3 ... now I'll have to find another freq for my Soul Station when I go home. That was the last spot on the dial that wasn't short-spaced.

The comments section of the Free Press story sure slams the station.
