Same with the stations in Toronto. Q107 is the worst offender for constantly playing Rush, the Tragically Hip, BTO and the Guess Who. They all fit into their playlist of course, but sometimes it gets boring. And the more contemporary stations seldom play music from newer bands. So much for exposure.
