Top Ten Edmonton, Alberta Radio Stations
This is a list that showcases my Fave Radio Stations in the area I live. Most of these stations are for all Alberta, I think. I'm not the best at describing the type of stations they are but I'll do my best.This is one of the best radio stations, in my opinion. They play a wide variety of music, from rock to pop and many other genres. They are very interactive with listeners. If you text in, they will respond 9 out of 10 times. They also have a special fan hour at 12 p.m., where listeners can request songs for an hour, and they will play almost anything requested.
The radio hosts make the station even better - they are all funny and reliable. They have the craziest conversations and will discuss anything, allowing listeners to participate.
They are my absolute favorite radio station right now. I even got the chance to visit the studio once, and everyone there is so cool.
This station has been around in the Edmonton area for quite some time, and they are known for playing hard rock and metal. They have a bold style, with gutsy hosts and a hardcore vibe. They often offer tickets for concerts and have been a staple in Edmonton for years.
Artists like Ozzy Osbourne, Guns N' Roses, Mötley Crüe, Avenged Sevenfold, Nickelback, Metallica, Three Days Grace, Iron Maiden, and AC/DC are frequently featured.
This is our main news station for current events, weather, and sports. It's Edmonton's #1 radio station, according to most people.
Whenever an Edmonton Oilers or Edmonton Elks game is on, you can count on them to broadcast it and have good sports shows after the games.
There are many more reasons why they're so good. They are very trustworthy, which is why they are the go-to station for locals and travelers.
You are the best, 24/7. Even when you were the rock channel. Thanks, 630 CHED.
This is a nice station, and I appreciate that I can listen to the Oilers games with them.
This station is all about classic rock music from the '60s, '70s, '80s, and '90s. They may have been around longer than The Bear and have always been a family favorite in my house.
They are a very musically knowledgeable group, which is fitting for a classic rock station. You name a classic rock song, and they have it, along with a bit of classic blues and early pop. It's a good station.
I have to double-check the name, but that's basically it. They are a sports-based station, almost 24/7, and they have great daily shows about sports, not just in Edmonton but all over. They sometimes cover current events too.
After a hockey game, they might actually be better to listen to because their ads aren't as long.
They are known as the sister station to Now Radio because they're in the same building. They play a lot of what Now can't. I don't know everything about them yet, but the music they play is very enjoyable. They also share some staff with Now. UP! is starting to get more and more noticed.
These guys play a lot of different but well-known music. They feature songs from various eras and have a lot of Canadian content. They are relatively new but very good to tune into.
I remember when this station was just getting started. Over time, they've become very popular because they play alternative, electronic, and some dubstep. You will often hear Paramore and Ellie Goulding, which is good to listen to.
This one is bittersweet because when I started listening to the radio, I would always tune into Joe FM almost all day. It introduced me to many of my favorite artists. However, over time, I lost interest because they played too many songs that I didn't know well. Now, they still play some good music, but I've transitioned from being a super fan to just a fan. They are still a fine radio station, even with the name change.
I don't listen to this one a lot, but I tune in from time to time. I like a bit of country music. This is also the radio station that hosts the Big Valley Jamboree every summer, bringing in big country names every year.
Greatest radio station in the city. Sponsored by the government. They also provide news, unlike the stations that just play music.
Great news coverage. Frequent updates on traffic and news headlines.
