Yes RDU has an alt country/folk-indie show it's called Throwing Shapes (7pm Wednedays). I too have strong reservations about Canwest being essentially gifted 3 frequencies to continue broadcasting a radio format that was a commercial failure - weird. Don't they have enough of the FM frequency anyway? But the main problem is the manner in which Canwest obtained them i.e. no consultation, tendering etc. Who in the Government thought this KiwiFM arrangement was a good idea? Besides having a 100% kiwi music station is just some weird nationalism gone wrong, and will it help NZ music get out to the Edge/ZM/Rock listeners? Anyway ,I think that there is still a gap where Channel Z was and I wonder whether the bnet will exploit that?
