FM radio kind of sucks, atleast in Halifax NS

I dont have any experience in other areas in the world. As I lived in Nova Scotia/HRM the longest. I've been living here since 1996 when my dad moved here. We mostly lived in the middle of no where's ville in HRM outside of the main part of Halifax. 

For some odd reason Halifax decided to amalgamate in the same year. If i was retarded Id draw a conclusion where there is none as a lot of random people do. Though more on that in another post, much as anyone probably wouldnt be interested in my convoluted opinions about that.  

Anyways, i think my first experience with FM radio here was with q104 when i was 12. Even then they were really behind. They played mostly old rock from the 70s or even before. They didnt start saying "classic rock" until recently. I guess they wanted to make their radio station more boomer friendly, even though the truth is they always been boomer radio. 

I think the main demographic for FM radio stations nowadays is boomers anyways, since most people have moved on to other ways of listening to music, via the internet, mp3s and streaming music services. There was a rise of hipster stuff with vynle records. 

You started seeing music stores crop up even though those vanished near the end of the 00s, only to reappear when the hipsters wanted more records, a blast from the past. It's weird seeing those places around. 

I like having CD's of my favourite albums, but i never set foot in one recently since i buy stuff like that online. I only listen to FM radio because it's a convenient way to tune out noise that's around me and it's light on the battery on my phone, it also doesnt use data which is great. 

Though if i had more data and didnt have a shitty phone that drains the battery quick i probably wouldnt listen to the radio, since a lot of the radio stations here suck. I do kind of like the French stations here, though I dont understand much french so i dont know what they're called. q104 is okay, though they seem high as balls sometimes. One time they remarked it must be a cloudy when it was clearly sunny. I heard that yesterday afternoon. Little bit cool for ya in August, old man? 

For awhile there was a radio station called live105, which was great. Though it vanished and turned into another boomer radio called jewel105 or something. Then suddenly someone backpeddled and live105 came back and called themselves surge105. 

They played a lot of music I like, mostly from the 90s, though i stopped listening to it because the messages they played in between songs grated on my nerves. 

Also they had an odd tendency of playing the same Linkin Park song multiple times a day, which really annoyed me. They also played a lot of Nickelback. Both of those bands I never want to hear and if i have to hear them multiple times a day that's just annoying.
