We listen to a lot of radio and every morning the minute we get up we turn on the radio. Per example this morning, a very bad storm was raging and we turned on the radio morning show from Halifax on the CBC. It has lots of music which appeals to a wide, if older audience, + 50. But the music has lots of references to souvenirs and memories relevant to anyone over 50. You also get the regional weather and news. The weather for the Maritimes, which impacts the whole area despite the fact we do not live in Nova Scotia. It is just across the Strait from us and quite visible some 12 Km away.
Then this afternoon on the eve of the new season of Metropolitan Opera Broadcast from NYC we had Canadian Tenor Ben Heppner of the CBC Saturday at the Opera with his guest Mary Jo Heath,Host of the Metropolitan Opera broadcast. The Opera today was a classic Hansel and Gretel usually played around Christmas time by Humperdinck.
On any given day we have music playing it is usually classical on the CBC or Radio-Canada. We never listen to local radio stations which only play musak pop with loads of advertisement.
What do you listen too or do you listen to the radio? Here are two songs I heard this evening at dinner on the Radio Canada show from Montreal with host Claude Saucier. Do you remember them?

Great music! I cu rental don’t regularly have music on. In the past, it was a constant.

We listen to a local jazz station. They play some big band, some cool jazz from the fifties, and a range of contemporary styles. They rarely venture into free-form Ornette Colman-esque music from the early 60s, for which I’m grateful. Loved the Tommy Dorsey cut.

Ben Heppner! He was one of my favorites back in the 90s. I thought he had retired?

This was curious reading. I don’t know anyone else who listens to the radio. Most folks listen to their phones or CDs viz.something they control. I can not tell you what are the radio stations any more. I think AZ has a classical station but it was rather rubbishy
