reasons
Well i'm going to start replying to some of these posts across Toronto and the GTA, as some people are missleading what mandates and other initiatives club246.com Inc has.
Amps wanted a FM slot, but we do not remove any HOSTS from our network unless there is a problem or better oportunity for the group to advance. While Amps does a good show, it is not up to a standard that we would like our FM station to head.
Secondly airtime is avialable if a Show such as amps can present a sponsor who will pay for the airtime in which is being used.
We pay chin, and in return we have to have sponsors and programs paying us.
There are no ratings and while amps is totally incorrect in his statement that "no one listenens" our webiste as trippled in hits, our phone lines never stop ringing and with the right combinations our live to airs do produce good results.
Emails pour in from people who enjoy the hard work that we put in, and in fact we enjoy each persons opinion.
At the end of the day this is a business, and just because you can dj, or create your own show, doesn't mean your ideas will match up with ours.
We are a good company, with good people and just because you leave doesn't give you the right to put down something you played on for over a year.
We thank you for playing for us, and though not our decision we are sad to see you leave. Good luck .

you guys should seriously do a music show catering to the music connoisseur. There are no locally produced shows that are like this. The closest we get around here is john digweed's transitions. Id like to see a format like that but from a canadian perspective with well respected canadian djs as the hosts.

b. Do not have a good voice

Who cares about their voice? Carl cox sounds like a little girl but he has a fucking amazing show.
You guys need to think beyond that type of mentality.

haha very true.
What carl cox lacks in voice he makes up for in Production, Music and his Name.
Do you have any suggestions on who you would like to see on the radio ? |
Hawtin, aquaviva, oliver, mistress barbara are canadian names that come to mind. Also greg gow would probably deliver a nice techno/house show.
And thats my point. Its not about the radio voice. I could care less about that and true music fans dont care about flashy BS. Z103 has radio voices but we all know how that works out. In fact most north american radio voices usually sounds constipated to me..LOL

More local talent. I understand it's a business...however, there's no $ figure that u could put on what u'd do for "The Scene" by promoting...and supporting locals just as enthusiastically as u would a BIG name local...or especially an international one. Also, we already know that the HOUSE scene is stronger...and alooooooot bigger than the Techno, Trance, breaks...etc. and that there's more business opportunity there, and more $ to make, but why not play an active role in supporting grass roots level.. up & coming TRANCE dj's? How do u think NYC dj's make their names?? sure they're good... but we have locals here that are just as..if not better than. Plus we really do have aloooot of Trance listeners in the GTA how else would Tiesto, Corsten, AvB, and the likes sellout venues.

thats my point..they dont have radio shows. So why not use your venue to create one? If its really good you can syndicate it like those international ones have. How do u think they got started?
Do you know how much power having air time gives you?
why not get your own posse together and give it a serious shot? get some unknown people with a zest for music and make it a serious show instead of getting some gino to call in and talk about how he fucked some girl when im trying to listen to a good song in the background...
im not trying to be mean here, im just trying to say that you have a huge opportunity here to make something. All you need is the vision to do it.
There is no reason a bunch of people from toronto shouldnt be able to put a good 2-3 hour show together every week that show cases the finest music from around the world and from toronto as well. And there is no reason why eventually it shouldnt be syndicated out the same way you buy syndicated shows from britain.
