Thanks, CANCON

While listening to the radio this morning, I came across two stations playing the same song at the exact same time. Both 102.1 The Edge and Hamilton's own Y108 were pumping out "That Song," a Big Wreck hit from 1997.

I understand what the MAPL system is trying to do, but when you're regularly filling the gaps with music from over a decade ago, it's not exactly showcasing the best and brightest new talent in Canada. I can understand the move on Y108 given their classic rock format, but the Edge can do better.

Check out Let's Fix CANCON, a website devoted to overhauling current CRTC regulations.

To be fair, "That Song" was the cat's meow back in grade seven.
