There are times when I don't know if you all are operating with tongue in cheek. You mean NW is not licensed to play music...in other words when they dropped the music in the morning some time ago, NW had to apply to the wasteland known as the CRTC to do same? Absolute crap. And the sooner the Harper government gets rid of the CRTC the better off we all will be. All we need is a regulatory body to oversee the approval of licenses....making sure Hell's Angels don't get to buy a radio or TV station. Otherwise, leave it to the experts (so-called) to set up a reasonable programming lineup. If said lineup is the shits, then we the people will respond by not listening or viewing. And said Hell's Angels station will die a slow death. I can't still believe the CRTC will not allow an Oldies format on FM radio. Yet we have so much similar music from several FM outlets....that the kiddies label as hip-hop, classic rock, rap, etc. Total bull. On the Abbotsford roads I'm bombarded with boom cars, pounding out some inane base. Said driver will be applying for hearing aids by age 40. Rap music surely has to be labelled for those who are against everything normal.....down on this, down on that. Can anyone honestly tell me they understand each and every word being spoken by these rap "artists"? There's a young guy who frequents Mill Lake here in Abbotsford....this guy is amazing......he walks around the 2.5km lake.....spouting off these rap "songs" one after another.......I might add that his mother got him onto drugs at a young age....and they're both screwed up. He'd fit right in on some rap show. Remember, I'm not labelling him because I'm guessing.....I'm a member of the Abbotsford Police Citizens Patrol. He's one scary person. (carries a knife, I guess to lead the band with).
