C K B Y Fm – Y101

OK, so this is cool: I learned to like the «New Country» music by listening to this radio station, which, by the way, is now called «Country 101.1». Country music stars in general are very friendly and warm bunch of entertainers. I have to admit to being very impressed with the Canadian talent I have had the pleasure of seeing at the local fairs and country music festivals around the Ottawa area, as far away as Calabogie. Canada should be pround for having such great talent in our population!
This radop station has been active for over 40 years, and has changed and morphed with the times, as the music has changed and announcers have come and gone. IMHO, The «Classics show» on Sunday mornings is a bit too country music for me (although I do like the occasional Johnny Cash, or rock ‘n roll cross overs from the ‘60s. Oh, and Dolly Parton. And… oh But I digress!)
As with many current radio stations, they offer a rewards program, where you can earn points to be spent on a variety of things such as contests or tickets. The station is often present at different events around the city, inviting the public to come on up and say hello. The announcers also are very friendly.
The occasion of this visit to the station was to pick free up tickets to an event at the E&Y centre. Thank you Y101!
