FX 101.9 FM

I have to say I do not always listen to this station, but the dial does go there sometimes.
The music can be great, but I do agree with the poor contests. I have not put a lot of thought into the hosts of the show. Normally if I do not like what I hear I change the station.

It’s really unfortunate that Halifax’s only country radio station earns just three stars on this country fan’s hit list. While a three star rating is nothing to get upset over normally, because I WANT to like this radio station so much, it disappoints me it comes up short of being great.
I love the music that this station usually plays, a mix of country new and old, with the top 40 repeated throughout the day. While that might get frustrating for some people, I like hearing those songs repeated, and the songs on rotation get switched about every month so new ones will cycle through eventually. It’s disappointing that 101.9 boasts non-​stop music stretches, but when those end you are stuck listening to low brow observational humour about average working class people.
The on-​air personalities are admittedly a little bit obnoxious, but everyone on the air in this city seems to be (with the exception of the ever stone-​faced cast of CBC radio). The call-​in segments are a little lame, awarding listeners with concert tickets for answering questions like the classic «what do women do 38% more often then men».
Hot Hint: A list of current contests and rules can be found on their website, but don’t expect to find much else there. Sorry 101.9 but your web design gets a D.

While I don’t love the music played on Country 101.9, for the most part I don’t mind it, as long as it’s not one of the few songs that is played over and over.
More-​so, it’s the broadcasting that I mind, particularly that of Denyse Sibley. I understand that a lot of listeners like her and that she has done a fair bit in the community, but as a broadcaster, she can sometimes be quite annoying. While broadcasting, she often talks about herself and her social life and can frequently be heard taking cheap shots at her co-​worker, Jigger. For these reasons, I find Denyse to come across as arrogant and for the most part do not enjoy her broadcasting.
