You just noticed something that a lot of TOers take for granted.
I used to listen to CFNY 102.1 when I lived in the Toronto 
(Ontario Canada) area. I must admit, there is not another 
radio station quite like it anywhere. No other stations go out 
on a limb to play music that is either not in the top 40, or not
considered a rock/pop classic.

I really miss CFNY since I moved to Saulte Ste Marie. People up
here don't have a clue who Kate Bush is!!! They listen to country and 
western (CNFY - sic) or rock/pop music from the 50s, 60s and 70s!

Oh well, I have CDs of Kate (and Tori).

Perhaps someday the cable company up here will carry a real MUSIC 
station like CFNY.
