First Listen - Sun FM Returns to Kelowna


After 6 years of CHSU-FM Kelowna, BC being branded as 99.9 Virgin Radio, 99.9 Sun FM has finally came back to the Kelowna radio airwaves.


The 1st chapter of 99.9 Sun FM came to an end on October 3, 2019, when the announcers pulled off a big surprise rebrand as 99.9 Virgin Radio.


But on February 8, 2024, this station, along with 44 other Bell Media radio stations, were being sold to different owners, including CHSU and 20 other B.C. radio stations to Vista Radio due to the big BCE layoffs in almost 30 years.


And as of today, the next chapter of 99.9 Sun FM has begun under Vista Radio ownership.


Not to mention that due to the BCE sale, the station's website has changed to mykelownalakecountrynow.com, along with sister stations CILK-FM and CKFR-AM.


Here’s the revived Sun FM on its first afternoon at 5pm Pacific Time, April 14th:

- Ed Sheeran, Azizam

- Tate McRae, Sports Car (Canadian)

- SZA, BMF

- The Weeknd, Cry for Me (Canadian)

- Chappell Roan, Pink Pony Club

- Swedish House Mafia feat. John Martin, Don't You Worry Child

- Eminem feat. Rihanna, The Monster

- Alexander Stewart, I Wish You Cheated (Canadian)

- Sabrina Carpenter, Feather

- Lola Young, Messy

- Shawn Hook, Sound of Your Heart (Canadian)

- Benson Boone, Beautiful Things

- Love Luxury & Anders, Love No More (Canadian)

- Deadmau5 feat. Rob Swire, Ghosts 'n' Stuff (Canadian)

- Ariana Grande feat. Nicki Minaj, Side to Side

A Special Announcement

Image
After 1 year and over 125 editions, I decided to stop publishing the weekly top program list. The reason why? Because the TV listings section on the Gracenote website was apparently shut down last Wednesday. I usually use the Gracenote site for the upcoming programs airing on linear TV the following week, but unfortunately, the website was shut down like I said, last Wednesday, following the main source Zap2it took their listings offline in favour of the schedule page of the American pay-TV network NewsNation. Don't worry, I'll still be publishing the special bulletins when there's something important in worldwide media. And starting this fall, I'll be starting off a new weekly series called "What Happened This Week In Worldwide Media", published every Sunday morning.

Explaining the Big Canadian Specialty Channel Shuffle of 2024-25

Image
With less than 2 weeks until the calendar flips to 2025, there's some big changes to the Canadian specialty channel landscape, and that's because Rogers Sports & Media announced a licensing agreement with Warner Bros. Discovery's factual brands back in June, but some providers won't get the new Rogers channels that have WBD programs, including Bell, and a result, Corus Entertainment and Bell Media announced that some channels that had WBD programs will change names between the end of 2024 and the start of 2025! Here's a breakdown of the changes of these specialty channels that are impacted, by company: Bell Media Discovery Channel becomes USA Network, Investigation Discovery becomes Oxygen, Discovery Science becomes CTV Nature, Discovery Velocity becomes CTV Speed, and Animal Planet becomes CTV Wild, all of which will happen on January 1, 2025. In an unrelated move, MTV Canada will close down for good after December 31, 2024, citing "changing audiences...

 Hello, this is Angelo. As you may expect, you've probably heard by now that I've reached 1,000 followers on Twitter/X as of yesterday. I'm a big fan of Lolirock, but I also like game shows such as Family Feud (and it's Canadian version), Jeopardy, Supermarket Sweep, Catch 21, and Common Knowledge. And let's be honest, I always do the Top TV programs of the night a few hours before primetime starts at 8pm ET! Without further adieu, let's watch the most popular video on Lolirock's official YouTube channel:
