GY!BE on radio!

Wow, you guys oviously have much better radio up there than us state-siders. I can't imagine ever hearing GYBE on the airwaves here! There used to be a good station around here (105.9 out of Janesville, Wisconsin) that played pretty much anything and everything in the prog vein without worrying about track lengths or sponsors or things of that nature. I'll never forget hearing them play the entire 23 minutes of Pink Floyd's Echoes (something I had never heard a radio station do and haven't heard since). Unfortunately, the current state of the music industry eventually caught up with the station, and they changed formats to hip-hop and Top 40 . It was funny though, on the last day before the format change, the old DJ's locked themselves in the studio and refused to come out in protest. The cops had to be brought in to resolve the situation. Those guys became my heroes that day.

On Radio-Canada (in Québec), there is some show in the night whith pretty good/weird music. Post Rock, Jazz, Electronic (non-pop), and those kind of things. I never listen to the radio, but I got them a couple of times (by accident I guess). Unfortunatly, just a couple of times.

I'm in Quebec too, BTW. Do you know when is that show, it looks promising...

In holland we have Arrow Rock Radio, it has a weekly special of progressive rock (usually boring, but sometimes they play the interesting stuff) and they play a lot of classic rock, including some Yes Pink Floyd, Rush,  and other big prog acts.

At night they play the best songs (all of Echoes, occasional Awaken, CTTE or other long songs)
Sometimes I actually enjoy radio

Unfortunatly only the well known songs are played, so now big surprises

Yea 90.9 has a block from midnight to 3 am every saturday for progressive...  awesome show.

pretty good quality too.

In Finland we only have one radio program that plays good music and that is "Avaruusromua" (Space Junk in English). It only lasts about an hour every sunday evening but it's worth it. They play a lot of electronic, avant garde, experimental ect. TD, Schulze, Eno, Amon Tobin etc. and loads of unknown bands.. Great stuff.

But other than that , radio:
