Originally posted by Jayx1 keep in mind that club 246 was once a startup operation as well. Some things do take time to come together. I remember z103 when it first came on the air as hot 103 back in 1995. They didnt even have a proper host for the first month and their coverage was based out of orangeville which meant that you could not recieve the signal downtown. Of course thats also changed over the course of time. I like both 246 and 105.1. I think they both have a lot to offer dance music listeners in Toronto. Its too bad that a lot of people cant join forces to promote dance music instead of work against each other. From what i see, dance music in Toronto is in desperate need of solid promotion right now.

Jay Z103 is still broadcasting using the orangeville towers b/c they are licensed to broadcast from orangville

however they increased their power significantly in 2000 which is pretty much what i was getting at in regards to coverage in DT toronto.

sup Jenn!

I heard that, it wasn't an increase of power at all, but a Chuck Norris Roundhouse kick, that is constantly sending shockwaves across Southern Ontario. .

I live in Etobicoke 2 minutes away from Z103's office and let me tell you I get static reception whenever I try to listen to Z on my household receiver, I guess if Z103 wanted to have a better reception they would be able to rent their transmitters from CN Tower instead of broadcasting out of Orangeville. As I said before the only time I get half decent reception of Z is when I'm driving in my car, whenever I'm @ work or school I usually listen to mp3's off my laptop or ipod simply because I don't have to listen to annoying commercials or stupid radio personalities. If I'm up late doing some late night studying, I try to listen to either Club246 or Paul the engineer's Paradox shows on mp3s, I do tune into Energy stream once in a while, but let me tell you I was listening to Jay-t's show few Tuesday nights and clearly it sounds like a cheap rip off Seduce and Conquer show that Payton Kayne hosts on 246 that is my 2 cents worth

haha in Algonquin Park there is only one station. And it is the "Algonquin Park Information Station." Basically it's some guy talking in a mono voice, and the 3 minute recording is repeated over and over and over and over...

Then here in Barry's Bay (where I go on my days off) we get 97.7 (Moose FM) LOL! It's a mix of country, classic rock, and pop music. There are also a few stations here that are very popular, and the genre of them is country.

The only station that I listen to once in a while is CBC Radio 1. I basically listen to that when I am Algonquin Park because I like to be updated on the news (someone broke our television there!! ><). Sometimes the station does not work, and when it does, the reception is not good, but i can still understand what they are saying.

*sigh*

I just throw a bunch of tracks on my mp3 player and try to survive on them each week!

Originally posted by J.C. Yes, for sure some healthy competition is always good, although I must say the signal of 105 is super bad, when I listen to see whats going on gets super annoying and I have to turn it off.

I actually find Energy 105 to have the best quality signal out of the three stations. Z 103's signal is Loud to the point where it's almost distorted, 100.7's signal is Muffled where as Energy's signal is almost CD quality. Where I live I have no problems receiving the signal even on my clock radio.

i think the orangeville towers have more to do with the CRTC than spending cash. CIDC (DC 103) was originally a regional orangeville station playing adult contemporary until they flipped formats in 1995. They even had their studios there. Hence why they have the towers in orangeville. If they broadcasted off the CN Tower they would probably interfere with other stations sharing that frequency in other markets.

104.5FM~

all radio stations are licensed by crtc and according to crtc they all have to have their signal compressed to -3db so i don't know what you are talking about 100.7's signal is perfectly fine and clear, i was receiving it w/o antenna as for energy, their signal is distorted in most areas of toronto, unless you listen to their transmission over the net

buddy if CIDC would be interfering with other frequencies i don't think crtc would allow them to opperate btw 101.3 and 103.5 were both around and operating together w/o a problem for a really long period of time, you should ask manuel about that since he hosted one of his channels on that frequency

if z103.3 would interfere with chum 104.5 i don't think z would receive their license from crtc in the 1st place, its like saying Flow 93.5 is interfering with Jack 92.5 just to let you know both of the station's transmiters are up on the CN Tower

I never said anything like that (or did I?) I just listen to 104.5FM

back up yo!

um...i dont think u get what im saying..

some frequencies dont have another channel nearby sharing the same frequency and thus can have a greater signal strength and tower height (as FM relies on line of sight as well) depending on their location.

i suspect the reason 103 is still in orangeville is because i believe there is a 103.5 station in cleveland that a signal off the cn tower would probably interfere with.



and i never said anything about 103.5 interfering with 104.5. But there is an allowance granted between channels in a market so as they do not interfere with each other. I believe its .4 on either side of the frequency but dont quote me on that. Obviously having multiple transmittors on the CN tower isnt going to cause problems.

105.1 has a clear signal in the areas you can receive them. Ive never had a problem in my car. Sadly the signal only covers metro toronto and southern york region but again thats due to the fact that there are other stations sharing the 105.1 frequency within very close proximity to Toronto.

For those Trance Addicts who crave more trance on Club 246 100.7 Radio Dj's Brad Goldfinger and Chiclet will be giving you all the trance you can handle very soon

my work truck only has radio which blows, i change stations at least 400 times a day.. but when a good tune comes on i appreciate it even more..

1. drive at five is usually entertainging now that they've started playin more house :P

2. I've got $200 for anyone who snipes out Dallas Green, or burns every existing copy of the damn 'Scissors' song.
