We’re still looking for more affiliates in Kamloops, Kelowna, Regina, Saskatoon, Brandon, Windsor, Montreal, Charlottetown, Moncton, Fredericton, and St John’s and anywhere else with a transmitter. If you’re in any of those markets and you want the show, lemme know and I’ll see what I can do.
I’m in Regina! I don’t know what kind of an audience we’d have here, I listen to it with my wife and kids as often as possible using the app for the edge at the moment.
We gotta get The Wolf on board…
Where can I find the Japandroids, Red & Green??? So good. Love this Christmas special. Happy holidays!
The band sent it to me. It should be available on iTunes. If not, it’s on YouTube.
hi alan, long time listener in saskatoon. unfortunately i have to stream to hear your show, which i totally dont mind doing, but it would be nice if rock 102 would pick you up.
It sure would. We’ll target them. Meanwhile, it would be a great help if you emailed the program director and asked him to carry the show.
no problem, sent an email !
