91.7 The Bounce

The Bounce makes me feel so old… and I’m only 23. Is this really what teenagers listen to? Am I so out of touch with people only a few years younger than me? Apparently so, because every time I’m in a car with my 15 and 13 year old cousins they beg me to put the radio on 91.7, much to my dismay. If I hear Ke$ha one more time, I don’t know what I’ll do. Now I know how my parent’s probably felt when I was growing up.
91.7 is as mainstream pop as it gets, and their not even ashamed. I guess they’re just trying to please the majority of listeners. Ugh, and their commercials are incredibly annoying and are far too frequent.
Although they did play Warren G’s Regulators the other day, which took me way back. Whoever that DJ was, he just saved the Bounce from being 1-​starred.
But chances are if you were born in the 90s, 91.7 The Bounce is probably greatest thing since Twilight.

The bounce is a hit music station in Edmonton. They used to be the only option for pop rock, hip hop and current top 40 hits, but now we also have Hot 107 as well.
I don’t mind the bounce but like other reviewers have written, it has gone mainstream. I think this was destined from the start, but ahh well.
The music isn’t bad, but there is a lot that they play that I hate. I do like the radio personalities they have on in the morning. Pepper & Dylan used to annoy me a lot, but now I like listening to them on my early morning drive.
Truth is, I switch back and forth between this station and Hot 107, but I prefer this station to Hot 107 because it has local hosts, unlike Hot 107 that has Ryan Seacrest hosting from god knows where.

The bounce used to be good and then it got so mainstream and annoying. I don’t understand why they play so much bubble gum pop music it feels like no one likes it.
Don’t get me started on the commercials. I feel like you have to wait 10 minutes before you get to hear a single song. They had a new thing going that was commercial free Monday’s but I have heard commercials on Monday’s so I am guessing that dream is dead.
I think Hot 107 plays a better selection of music and they change it up from pop to r&b to hip hop often so it keeps things fresh. They also have less commercials. I think the Bounce might be losing steam.

Wow did I speak too soon. It looks like the Bounce has chosen profit over their listeners and has canceled their ‘No Commercial Mondays’ in favor of their regular commercial– filled programming. So much for that short run… that lasted all of 2 months perhaps? There is very little now keeping me from listening to this radio station. I just tune in now when there is a commercial break from Hot 107, and then I switch back after a song or two. Seriously, there was a commercial between almost every song on the radio. Am I listening to a radio station or a commercial station? Oh Bounce, you really have changed…
