Is this one of the greatest Classic Rock stations in the world?
It's a big statement, but in my opinion - Yes!

Rock 101 (CFMI) in Vancouver has been the city's Classic Rocker for decades and it broadcasts from the fantastic 'Black Tower' in the heart of downtown (sharing office space with 99.3 The Fox, CNKW98 and AM730).
What an on air line-up this station has:
Brother Jake is on in the morning. This man is a legend both on and off air. I remember when he first started at the station (it was weekend breakfast).
My friend in the city called me to say "Take a listen to this guy. He's unbelieveble"!!! (Yup, that was you Laddie). And he was. I was completely blown away. Didn't take very long before the move to mornings :-)
Robin LaRose is on middays. The Electric Lunch is the benchmark of all benchmarks...and that voice. Now there's a Classic Rock voice. That's what it's all about.
Afternoon Drive is Dean Hill and Graham Hatch...two more radio legends! Former morning guys on LG73, Dean & Hatch are household names and have earned that right through being consistently brilliant performers.
Dean & Hatch on location.Oh , and the musics's pretty decent too !
Overall - it's one powerhouse of a station and displays what Classic Rock can sound like when the people believe in it.
