Broadcast Electric Field Radio Station Strength

Montreal was never a really big market when it came to FM radio, but in the '70s, it was the home to a pretty good rock station known as CHOM-FM. They played what were then new artists like Supertramp and Styx and in some cases they even played them before they were discovered in the rest of North America.

CHOM-FM still exists today but now it's a classic rock station, meaning that they play bands like Supertramp and Styx. Basically it is like as if things haven't changed, which may be fine for those of who like nostalgia. However, some are left feeling like there is a void on the FM dial when it comes to finding new rock music.

1996 to 2003 - the Alternative Rock Comeback

Yet in the summer of 1996, there was a glimmer of hope. Montrealers credited DJ Stephen Picard and program director Stephanie Hindley, a.k.a Cap’n Steph, for bringing them something new when they took over WGFB-FM, B-100, a powerful yet little known radio station in nearby Plattsburgh, N.Y. They suddenly became WBTZ the Buzz and stopped playing their usual playlist of hits from ’70s, ’80s and ’90s. They began playing Marilyn Manson, Korn and other artists that would make a parent cringe and wonder, what is that rubbish?
