97.7 HTZ FM in St.Catharines used to be a good station. It stinks now. The on air people are clueless, and I can still remember when M@W came out they played it's premier and basically tore it apart, then AC/DC comes out with "Hard as A Rock", and they actually played it back to back, the same song for its broadcast premeiere. Since that day, I've lost respect for that station...

Here in the Detroit area, 89X from windsor used to play The Hip way back during the BTH and Fully era but now the band is pretty much regulated to the Sunday night "Canadian Exports" show. When a new song does come out from them, it unfortunately is featured on the stations song battle progam "the Peoples Choice"...against the likes of Good Charlette or Eminems latest. You can only imagine the 15 year old girls calling the station and giving the votes to the latter....
"Good Life", did get some air play however for a while. :thumb:

Living in the states it's hard to say. But since I do live near the border I do catch a lot of hip tunes on The Bear but I'd have to say local station 106.7 WIZN "The Wizard of Rock" out of Burlington VT it the best for the hip. They always sponsor the shows in the area and play great music all day. Everything from Rush to Zep to Floyd to Gov't Mule and of course Hip. I'm proud to say that I live in an area of the states (Upstate NY) where Das Hip is respected. I've never been out at a bar where a band is playing that I didn't hear a Hip cover.

A station up in Peterborough, ON with the annoying John Gallagher dj'ing seems to play a lot of Hip. Gallagher seems to think he has an inside edge with Johnny Fay since he knows Katherine Humphries so well. He likes to mention that as much as he can. I think those hair plugs of his caused more damage than he'll ever know. :roll:

Living in jersey on the PP tour I was happy to hear an interview and a live set on 104.3 NY and even better at the show that night I knocked on the promo van's window and asked for extras tix and the guy who was on the cell opened up a portfolio and said here you go. A great hip day and night.....

I have the best radio station in the country. 98.3 cifm, kamloops best rock.
We get to hear plenty of hip, as well as everthing else you need. 2 of the 4 hip shows i've seen i won the tickets free!
i also like the fact that they play foo fighters and pearl jam twice as much as kiss and def leppard!
and i do hope opiated and leo can remain deeply in love, pyschic analysis or not...party on!

The KRock in Edmonton (97.3) used to ALWAYS play the Hip. Something has happened lately, and now they play more nirvana and metallica. Station has gone to the birds.
I just listen to CD's now.
He thought it was super cool that you were from Winnipeg and that you might be able to get audio from that show he was at. He sounded all impressed with the site and mentioned the address on air as well. Pretty damn good publicity if you as me! :thumb:
