great news..... saw that one coming though... it wasn't gonna last empty for ages.
good move by Maxx Scholz. Best of luck to club246 and ALL the DJs that spin on it. Off my mind i can think of our very own Raven (Joe) and Lady bass who had spun for 246 for as long as i rememeber.
we got live shows on 100.7FM again. this means more fun all nighters just like the good old days. :D |

Exactly...the only time I ever heard anything was on the way to a club or coming back from one.
Who's brilliant marketing strategy is that???
"I know! Let's broadcast when no one's listening!" :rolleyes:
If they can come out with a RAP station?!?? :wtf:
(Remember: you can't spell crap without rap) :p |

When all dance music listeners in Toronto can unite to form one big dance music scene. Whats the point of starting a 24/7 radio station when you're going to get bashed when you play Motorcycle - As the rush comes next to Emjay - Take me in your arms. |

u see Paul, tranceaddicts wants all or nothing. We grew used to the fact that there is ID&T radio which plays all EDM or party 93.1 or so on... what we (they) don't know is that rap and pop is always aired as well on those stations. We also grew used to the fact we can tune in ets-global or TAW and we got instant trance right there!
net radio's sucess is given by the big name DJs that support it. Real radio unfortunatly is supported by the listners rating and the ads that go on it. It's simply "more commercial"
ffs we live in North America where EDM is not mainstream.. unlike some places in europe and so on. They're gonna bitch about it either way... music or no music.
I personally like the use of CD players cuz i control EXACTLY what i want to listen to and when i want to listen to it. It's JUST that simple! |

Club246 has to come up with enough revenue to keep the current 35 hours of programming a week afloat, before they look into expending.
Also politics will make it hard for them to get more than the hours they have right now.
There is still hope for a 24 hour EDM station in Toronto in form of Digital Radio (DAB). The plans have already been put in motion but like I said Running a 24 hour EDM station in Toronto does require for Euro, Freestyle and other commercial formats to be mixed in with Trance, Techno and other "underground" formats. ID&T does this and so does Party 93.1. They have to in order to reach a wider audiance, which will allow them to sell more commercials, in turn boosting the stations operating budget.
The point: Don't expect a 24 hours on-air radiostation anywhere in the world that will nothing but trance, or house, or gabber or whatever. |

| this is great. we just have to support it somehow to get better time slots. if we tune in at those times but not really listen and go to sleep does that still count as ratings? how do they count listeners on radio? |
