Jewel 98.5 - CJWL-FM - FM 98.5 - Ottawa, ON

Jewel used to be my favourite radio station. Then changes were implemented so that every half hour I changed the channel. Now I don't listen any more as the new format is not at all to my taste in music. Only listen to Roger Ashby on Sunday mornings. Why are there no more stations playing music Ver más ... of the 60's?????

Had listened to Jewel since the beginning. There was a change a few years ago that I found myself changing the channel every half hour. Now this new format I am constantly changing the channel in fact I have decided the only program that I enjoy is the Roger Ashby show Sunday mornings. Why are t Ver más ... here no more channels that play music of the 60's???

I too have been listening to the jewel for years and I don't like the changes either, you have ruined a good thing. I don't listen to you at all anymore...NOT an enjoyable station anymore...Very loud and not soft music.

Hi, I have enjoyed listening to the JEWEL for many years, but I don't like the changes to the station now. Why have you started to include music that is NOT easy listening? It's annoying to hear some songs that are obviously by young singers that are not musically pleasing to the older generation. W Ver más ... e already have MAJIC 100 for this.

I have been a regular listener of Jewel 98.5 for many years, but there have been a few problems recently. Fortunately, it seems to be resolved now, but a couple of weeks back and before that also, there would be constant outages and nothing coming through at all on 98.5, or it would cut out every f Ver más ... ew minutes - most frustrating. I live in the Manor Park area, so it just must have been a broadcasting problem. Also, as another person has already mentioned below, I am very frustrated by the fact that I can no longer find out what has played recently on your station. Often I will hear a song and want to know what it is - Shazam works on my phone most of the time but not always, and if I don't have it handy, then it would be nice to look it up on your site. What happened to that function? I find it all very frustrating now. Also, while the show is generally good, you do seem to be including some music during the day that is just more noise than anything else. I am quite disappointed.

I have somewhat mixed feelings about your new Light 98.5 programming format - overall OK but it would be useful to have you announce transparently the "WHY" of the change. However, several additional comments: ~ Your morning program is excellent - very much worth daily following

The station sucks now, sounds like magic 100 which sucks as well.

Very good radio station with good music, I mean MUSIC. Joke of the day brings loughs during the day. However, I prefer the FM quality over streaming compressed music. I leave in Ottawa, Kanata area. The FM98.5 signal is very week and many times it gets completely lost here. Is there anything you ca Ver más ... n do about this?

I love the Jewel listen to it all the time. At times they don't always say what the name of the song is and who is singing... so I go on Recently Played to find out, but lately can't find this option in Ottawa .....it is so frustrating as I want to get the song what happened to this option on your Ver más ... site????
