Were any surveys of storeowners done? Do you think Home Hardware or Joe's Hay Barn is going to want to have that on in the background. Nope. Folks who want that kind of rock are going to have it on their ipods.
Store owners who have a few bucks to advertise aren't going to put their money into a station that they wouldn't have on in their own store. Its fun to play radio, but you gotta know your audience and advertisers to survive.
Hockey doesn't last all year.

Seriously though folks, nice to hear a REAL newscast for a change in the Valley where a reporter actually attended a school board meeting to cover an issue relevant to plenty of people in the Promontory area of Chilliwack. Well done! As for the music, I'd have to agree with the last post. I was thinking while at my vet's office (which was playing STAR-FM) that there's no way they would switch the overhead music to the Hawk...it would frighten the animals.
As a male in your demo, the music is not something that will keep me glued to 89.5 for hours. But I WILL come back for my top of the hour news fix.
And refreshing to hear play-by-play hockey on a Chilliwack station for the first time in a decade.
Time will tell though if the music format will fly.
I guess tomorrow's test will be how they handle the school closures...

You're new to this site aren't you. That's all we have here, armchair quarterbacks.
Some will blow smoke up yer butt, others will give you their opinion. That's what I did, based on many years in the biz in the lower mainland.
I will not be a listener because I don't live anywhere near your broadcasting area. From what I heard online, I didn't recognize half the music. Hope you have a big rotation because the 3 or 4 I did recognize, while nice to hear again, will get real old, real fast.
I refer you to the 104.9 frequency.
Again, just my opinion. Get ready for others.

I'm much happier with the opinion of those in the market that are the listeners... we certainly can't please them all - that's not what we set out to do.
But... of those in the demo (and many outside just the same)... the vast majority of reviews thus far are great...
Now we settle in and see what happens...
Interesting though... I'm interested in your credentials... care to share your history or do you wish not to blow your anonymity?
