Left on the dial

A little more than a year ago, the CBC geoblocked the Internet stream of our faded but still beloved Radio 3 and the blog ceased to be. The determined folks over at ourbasement.ca have been doing a fine job of keeping us informed about Canadian indie, but what about a radio replacement?

No surprise, it's taken more than one radio station to replace Radio 3. "Replace" is the wrong word, because nothing will replace it. But S2W has assembled a listening roster that gets him through the work day. In the car-- after canceling Sirius XM because of their horrendous business practices-- N2D has been mostly tuned in to Windsor's CJAM (99.1 FM). Favourite shows? Indie Guitar Swing and Steel Belted Radio.

S2W's recommendations:
