The cafe I sit in some mornings has easy listening CHFI on and Unbreak My Heart just played. I wasn't ready for this amount of Gen X Toni Braxton angest and drama this morning.

Even CHFI moved away from a pure easy listening format.

I was not about to listen to endless hottakes about why Kamala Harris lost while none of them say the real reason is because she's a black woman. I stopped watching the day after the election and got rid of X around the same time. I usually listen to CHFI or Boom, lol.

“Wildfire smoke continues to blanket the GTA… Toronto is number one for the worst air quality in the world” on CHFI commercial radio station.
“Limit your time outdoors” and keep your windows closed, they say. But no word about air cleaners or masking.
This will likely happen again next year.

I miss listening to the radio. Isn’t it wild that listening to the radio feels nostalgic now? Radio never overwhelmed us. It gave us information, stories, and music without hijacking our minds.
It spoke. We listened. And somehow, that was enough.

There’s a huge catalogue of actually good and even great Christmas music that isn’t tapped, resulting in the same pop songs and their covers played over and over.
Yeah, I pity the workers forced to listen to CHFI or piped in music channels.
