As a teen who frequently listens to the radio, both AM and FM, I know I am a rarety in my age group.
The reason being that I am passionate about broadcasting, and would like to go into that field after high school. Let me assure you that not a single Montreal teen believes that Mix 96 plays today's best music.

I feel sorry for the teens of Montreal who are lead to believe that MIX 96 is actually "today's best music" when in reality it's simply the only game in town. But I guess it's not the fault of THE MIX that they play hit songs just a little bit later than other stations or that they don't play all the hits in the first place.

The thing is, the law if anything should encourage variety in radio music programming. And yet all we have is crap.

This explains alot, when I was living in the US I listened to radio all the time. Good music good variety, but back in Canada I can't stand the radio, bad music, poor variety. So it turns out it is not poor taste of Canadians, or bad business by the station owners it is in fact more ridiculous laws passed by our over funded government.

Shouldn't this, and most CRTC laws, be considered censorship?

What's radio? OK I'm kiding, but seriously it's dead. It's just a tool for the record and ad industries which is odd since most pop music today is perfect jingle material anyway. Kill it off.
