      CD Sunday - why is Patrick Norman - Love Will Find A Way- never played? Such a great tune!
    • Dawn
      So very disappointing listening to your stn now. The Lounge was the very best. I can’t listen to the same music on your stn anymore. You have joined the cast of boring music for every station but you were better than they were. Bring back the lounge. Your listeners will come back!!
    • Joan
      What happened to your instrumental music at 11:00 PM? I'm disappointed it's not on lately.
    • Gerry Pettle
      I have written and recorded a Christmas song could I send you a copy to listen to and perhaps you will play it
    • Jim Cooper
      Your programming after 8.00pm is boring, repetitive,and out of date. You need NEW pre-recorded play lists. I listen through the day then change stations at night.

      Whats up with the lounge play list. We use to love it. Now you include disco in the lounge?? Sorry..adios
    • Jodie Cranstoun
      LITE sounds like so many other radio stations. JEWEL's format was UNIQUE and played music we don't hear anywhere else. Such a disappointment. You lost a long-time loyal listener (along with several friends and family members as well).

      When the radio was called Jewel, it was better than today's Light. ..they play the same songs at least several times a day... even though i love all the hosts..Roger Ashby`s oldies was the best! I'm sad.

      I'm from Toronto, and I love listening to Jewel 88.5. Perfect mix for home, and work, it would be nice if Jewel would play more of 70's tunes.

      So disappointed in your station this year. I so look forward to listening to your amazing Christmas music which even included non secular music but this year only sporadic Christmas music and almost all secular. I understand yo7 have to be “politically correct” but VERY disappointing.
