Haven't listened to the new station yet but at least it's an improvement over the soft rock easy listening syrupy elevator music from Magic 104. You have to wonder if they could have chosen a different format? Seems like a little overkill since C103 already does the classic rock thing. Would have been nice to have a station that specialized in modern rock.

I agree John, I am happy that I live in Fredericton where we have the choice of either Modern Rock (The Fox) & Classic Rock (Fred-FM).

I agree, both Fredericton's stations rock! Travelling through there and you hear a bit of a harder edge to it until you get to c103 and hear Luba

Why the hell is Luba on rotation on a rock station?

Oh yeah!! Luba rocks!!!

Same ol song selection as c103...why the hell would they do that?!

because nobody listened to them before and they know more people listen to c103 so why not copy them

Why not a metal station instead? We need one!

Yes, yes we do

Liquid Metal on Sirius XM is your answer!! Best 15$/Month I've spend.

I can try to answer that question why they didn't go "Metal" or the format you're hearing alot about these days called, "Classic Alternative" which is very new to Canada! I think there is one in Vancouver?

So to spin a new format that's never been done before is a bit risky for any radio station.

But I do agree that 2 of same thing is 2 many. Look for Rogers to jump at the chance to add an Adult Pop station to serve the Female audience Magic 104 abandoned.
