I received an e-mail last night saying BDS was going to make a major change regarding it's chart policy. I hope this is not just a rumour! Maybe they'll remove the rhyhmic/urban stations so we can have a true chr chart! I'm glad Power92 switched formats. At least their HotAC playlists won't be reporting to the chart anymore. BDS might have to re-evaluate the Radio Energie stations, as well as HOT 103 Victoria. They sound very HotAC to me. Actually, HOT 103 are now playing Kelis, nevermind. Check out the radio energie top 20 english tracks though and see if you think they are CHR or hotAC.

It's also time BDS included C100 Halifax to the CHR list. They should also put monitors in St. John's NL - especially now with the new broadcast licences that were granted.

Tell me more! :O What new licences?

[capital_guy]

Mybe they'll have to kill the CHR chart since there's hardly any left! :o

Ax,

All I remember is that there will be a new FM AC station. I'll look at the CRTC website later for more info.

You do make a good point.

Let's see... I would keep these stations:

HOT 103 Victoria
Z95 Vancouver
96X Edmonton
HOT 103 Winnipeg
Z103.5 Toronto
Energy 103 London
MIX97 Belleville maybe
CKOI - Montreal

add C100 Halifax

That makes just 9 stations. Well, if Billboard can do the Dance chart with just 6, why not?

The only artist that sets HOT 103 Victoria apart from HotAC is Kelis. One could argue though that the CHUM-FM pop style hotAC's are CHR's. In that case, I might add Mix96 Montreal, the 3 BDS Energie stations, and The Wave St John. That gives us 14 stations. If BDS expanded to more markets, we could get HITS-FM St. John's, HOT 101 Brandon, HOT 105 Thunder Bay, Z103 Sudbury, a few more in Quebec, MIX 93.7 Lewisporte, some other Atlantic stations...

Does anybody want to make a subtantial contribution to BDS Canada for expansion into smaller markets? lol. Thought not.

A new FM stations in St. John's? Oooh! I DO remember a few years ago that there was to be a new FM station in 2003 but it was a Christian station or something? However, for some reason I can't remove the thought or memory of hearing about an AC station in NL.
