Astral provides bottom-of-the-barrel quality in my experience. From monstrous repetition (very frequent reruns of any programs they purchase) to the minimal broadcast quality (cutting transmitter power whenever they can, flakey equipment that doesn't get timely repair), to understaffing.
At least it's another listening choice. The way they do business, they can afford to have lots of half-assed radio stations to sell ads for.
And what happens to Info Radio, the unprotected English and French services currently on 99.7 and 101.9? Unless someone moves over a bit in frequency, I don't see any 3rd adjacent frequencioes left in Ottawa-gatineau, unless the frequencies around CJET-FM (92.3) count.
