Flow 93.5: Love It or Hate It?

So I've been listening to Flow 93.5 tonight to see if Canadian "Urban Radio" stacks up anywhere as good as what we've had down here for years now and what really surprised me was in reading Flow's wiki entry:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CFXJ-FM

You mean to tell me Canada as a whole didn't have 1 single Urban/Hip-Hop radio station until 2001? I know that, well ethnically speaking the demographics may not have warranted demand for such a niche, but still. It's just crazy to think you guys just got on the bus 6 years ago.

Geez like, so don't post. Also that is amazing how we didn't have a radio station with Hip Hop since 2001. But i am sure the radio stations played a few songs but not dedicated to Hip Hop.

its a great radio station..along with z103.5.
The only problem is that flow 93.5 has a crappy website...u cant find out wht song they played on air!

And I like that you guys pronounce it ZEE 103.5 (the correct way) vs. ZED 103.5.

CIUT, 89.5 FM has the best urban radio. Project Bounce, every night 12-5 absolutely destroys Flow's urban music.

Let's just say, This "New Flow" is trash, and not urban. I don't think anyone who is into the urban music would care to have Maroon 5 on the morning show. The thing that killed me about Flow was the stupid, and very frequent commericals, along with repetative american urban.

Flow has no identity, and is to be hated upon.

Utter and absolute crap.

Basically the equivalent of MTV and BET in terms of commercialism today..

I enjoy the OTA live show on tues and thurs evenings. I don't really like the morning show.
