very well said, this is the next step. But as we all know not just anyone can get it you need to have credability and show you can pull in the $$

Sunday starts at 1am. We have a paying client on our station from 1-2. 2-3 we have that very show. Luke Native from Montreal and we have revolutions. A program that features new canadian Music, talent and Interview from Top djs around the world.

Wed is back with the Executive Mix. We feature new tracks, talk about industry and Club246 Happenings. We also feature guest mixes and Maxx Mixes. This also airs in Los Angeles. We have a lot of fun doing it. Its been going on for about 4 years now and was the first show on GGN before we took it over.

Hey, do you think during your live-to-airs you could try letting us listen to the music every once in a while? And I don't mean the 1-3 songs per hour that we get right now.

I'm tired of listening to some Gino talk for an hour about the 2 hot girls he's been hitting on all night.

I'm tired of listening to the Host and somebody else talk about nothing while I try to listen to the song in the background (I missed After All (Satoshi Tomeii Remix) because of this, I was pissed).

I want to hear some MUSIC when I tune into Club246, whether it's a live-to-air or a syndicated program. When Paul the Engineer does his thing on Fridays it's awesome. Think that could be arranged for the rest of the programming?

There are certain methods we have that are on the air during the hour. Shout outs, interviews, addresses of the clubs, simple chatter. We do this also to overtalk some of the mixes and tracks as we don't want recordings of them.

I hear what you are trying to say and this will be addressed with a proper format for live to airs. But at the end of the day you'll need to come out to the live to airs to experience the full music and Vibe.

We want some interaction and some personal touches other than just music.

I will have the Program Director make a schedule for the shows and the live to airs, that each person will follow. I will post it on here for your feedback.

Thanks so much for the info, I appreciate it.

Paul does an amazing Job hence why hes at the Top of my list for any live to airs or shows. We've worked together for years.

If you notice he does a lot of callers, last week he did over an hour of them, just so people can get on the air. Its the interaction that makes it all that much fun.

Very Brief station IDs would solve that problem. A brief Station ID strategically placed would be a lot less annoying than "yo guy..look at these girls yo!" every 5 mins. As long as people know that it came from club 246 whats the problem with recording?

I don't listen to radio shows to hear that. I want to hear the music. This is why i often do prefer the imported syndicated shows. They are much more professionally done. You wanted to get feedback from this thread. Well now you have it. Instead of trying to fight against it you should accept the constructive critism and take it into account during your broadcasts. I think you guys are doing a great thing by putting dance music back on the radio, i just think you could make it even better and with suggestions such as mine and spam's as well as other TA's on here, i think it's possible.

Call in shows are fine if thats what they are supposed to be. But you guys are supposed to be running a club format show, not CFRB for ginos LOL

PS: i remember 1 groove used to have a rule that you could only talk every 15 mins or every half hour. Something like that. Thats why i liked their shows. The talking was only one in awhile and it was usually relevant to what was being played. Usually the Dj would tell you what you just listened to and then prompt people to call in for a prize or something. None of the "yo guy... im hammered buddy" BS. LOL

We still want people talking though, but good point. Like I said a Format will be in place asap.

We do also want a bit of talk shows, a bit or music locally, a bit of live to airs, a bit of calls and professional syndicated ones.

It must be well rounded on all fronts.

And I am taking note of your comments, but there are more than just you guys listening and we do get emails as well.

You are correct about the "yo look at the girls" thanks


Anyways back to work, if there is anything else about what we have currently let me know cheers

anytime... i know some of this feedback is a bit negative but we only want to see a strong. professional show that people will take seriously. It will make listening a much more enjoyable experience. I think in many ways you could use this show to draw people into the scene.

Local Djs back in the late 80s - early 90s along with Energy 108 is what made Toronto not just another north american city.

Look what happened once 108 folded. Our scene collapsed. Anyone who thinks you can have a strong scene without radio support is sadly mistaken. This is why i hope nothing but the best success for you and I hope you take our critisms in a positive way.

Thanks man you are right. I am going to spend the next week making it happen. I sometimes have other shit to worry about. I love the scene, the people and radio. Nothing more that I want.

I also love this board as people aren't just yelling at you, like Tribe, they try and help.

Much respect
