\/\/illy Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 Does anyone know the the inside scoop on this? This Monday (July 26th) at 7:20am, tune into Derringer in the Morning for a major announcement concerning the future of the Mighty Q. Don't miss it!!!

MarcO Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 I hope Derringer is announcing he will be sent into eternal orbit through space. He's unlistenable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paisley Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 all I can see myself getting excited about would be if they were putting The Dead Hour on nightly (hell, even at 7:20 in the morning... that can still be night) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamH Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 They've been petitioning to get the Dead Hour on there for years and years. I'm guessing format switch but maybe I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
\/\/illy Posted July 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 Since this is the only worthwhile (listenable) private radio station on the air, it would be very sad to see them make a format change. Hey TimmyB, isn't Andrew at Club Q a friend of yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcO Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 hamilton and I were boozing heavily together recently, talking about all of you and solving the world's problems, when the subject of the Mighty Q came up. We both agreed it's not a bad station but it's format suffers from one very serious problem: extremely unimaginative programming. The "classic rock" format is what it is, fine, whatever, but the bands they play - let's just take the Rolling Stones and Pink Floyd for examples - have huge deep catalogues that never make it on the air. You'd think Pink Floyd had about five songs in their entire body of work, based on what Q plays. Have you ever heard their classic, "Money"? No?? Well, tune your dial to 107.1 and wait fifteen minutes, it's the one that has the sounds of coins and registers at the beginning. And, I really never need to hear "Sympathy For The Devil" or "You Can't Always Get What You Want" ever again. They could so easily keep to their basic format but make a left hand turn into some of this catalogue material, and become slightly more progressive in doing so. Even "Psychedelic Sunday" suffers from this same songs week in, week out. "Q107 - all obscure dub reggae, all the time!" As long as they keep "Little Steven's Underground Garage", I'm happy. To be honest, it's all I regularly tune to Q107 for anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guigsy Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 Little Stevens is a great show, we get it down here on the Hawk... but i didnt know that Q was a private radio station, you'd think they'd get away with playing better stuff... i always thought they were under some sort of umbrella.

Thorgnor Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 That's why they don't have to censor their content quite as much... They play the version of signs that says "Fuckin'up the scenery" ooooooooooh, very edgy... BUNK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant private as in 'not public'. Privately owned radio station rather than a public one like CBC. I'm quite certain that Q107 is under "some sort of umbrella". They definitely mention that they are a WIC Media company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dark_starr Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 Actually, Q107 is owned by Corus Entertainment, as is Mojo 640, The Edge, and Y108 in Hamilton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
