Othan than CBC, this is what we have in Kelowna.
99.9 SunFM Hot AC. Plays songs like "Breathe" by Melissa Etheridge, "Hey Ya!" by Outkast, "Here Without You" by 3 Doors Down and "Frozen" by Madonna. Home to Rick Dees Hot AC Top 30 and the Canadian Hot 20 with Buzz Bishop.
101.5 SilkFM Soft Rock. Fleetwood Mac, Phil Collins, Avril Lavigne, and the like. Lost a lot of ground when SunFM came to town.
104.7 PowerFM Local rock station. Lostprophets, Jet, Melissa Etheridge, Incubus, Led Zepplin, Tragically Hip... best station in town.
1150 Oldies Songs from the 50s, 60s, 70s and early 80s. Home to Kelowna Rockets Hockey game.
630 CKOV All talk. Your source for radio news.
Now, I happen to love Power, but in a way, I'm kinda forced to like SunFM and Oldies since I work for 'em. Oh well.

If it's AC, then yeah... it can be quite boring... Wait, how can they play the same songs? French Top 40... I am assuming the songs played on that station are strictly French? French stations up in Timmins? Hmm... interesting to know...

French stations up in Timmins? Hmm... interesting to know... listen to any EZ Rock stations... it's AC, not HOT AC, you won't hear any hip songs, boring sappy ballads or "classic golds" they need french stations up here, and french top 40 means they will play top 40 songs, but have to play a minimum of i believe 40% french.

Usually, French stations have to play at least 65% french music. Because they are in Timmins, the CRTC requirements might be different. I'll have to look into that.

BROCKVILLE ONTARIO:
CFJR-FM 104.9 JR-FM Chum Radio Format: AC
Pretty good variety, but could do better. They should expand the golds to pre-70's.
CJPT-FM 103.7 BOB FM Chum Radio Format: Classic Hits
Alright, but I would prefer more Modern Oldies.
Plus all the border American stations as well as some CBC repeater signals. Only listed the Brockville based stations.

Calgary, the ones I can remember anyways:
88.9 Shine FM (Christian CHR) - I occasionaly listen to them.
CJAY 92 (Active Rock) - Seem to be playing more classic rock, as if we needed more. Here in Calgary they don't try and fill the gaps, they just try to be like the other stations!
Lite 96 (AC) - Use to be quite a bit of 70's and 80's mixed with newer music but since we lost our Hot AC they've been concentrating on playing more new music.
Jack FM (Classic Hits) - Don't even listen to this one. I guess the only good thing about this station is that they do play alot of 80's and 90's lost Canadian songs.
VIBE 98.5 (Urban, Rythmic, Pop, Whatever they are trying to be!) - I can't handle this much urban. It is getting a bit better though. I have heard the odd great urban tune off there where if we didn't have this station I probably I never would've discovered it.
Eagle 100.9 (Classic Hits) - Mostly 70's and 80's, boring. Don't get me wrong, I like 70's (most of the 80's I can live without) but to hear old music all the time is tiresome.
The Breeze 103.1 (Smooth Jazz) - Actually they just sound like a Soft AC station to me. I'd listen more if they would play more jazz.
Country 105 (duh) - Don't do country.
Q107 (Classic Rock) - The former old rock, modern rock, CHR/Pop, Hot AC station is now a station I very rarely listen to.
