What i find such an atrocity even more than turning the Wave into 'Grande Ol' Opry' radio behind the backs of loyal listeners like myself, is how you try to rationalize that providing the same music ON LINE ONLY is the same as a radio station?? Where are your heads at?? Seriously, a radio is century old device that picks up radio stations that broadcast with transmitters, openly, freely, without downloading apps and playing with patchcords and wires. Wave.fm?? Again, 'fm' refers to a radio FREQuENCY, which it is not!!! What an insult to the intelligence of all of us. I can listen to countless smooth jazz format on line anywhere in the world, and i can even enjoy it on my cogeco digital music channels, commercial AND announcer free, and i can run my digitial box through my stereo system. ALL my radios were tuned to the Wave 24/7 since day 1...i have better things to do with my laptop/iphone. You seem to think that switching your format to Country in search of the all mighty dollar and trying to pass off the Wave as a 'real radio station' would keep everyone happy? The nerve and gall of you all in ownership and programming. I tried to listen on line and its just a shadow of what it was. It doesnt even sound as if its performed and/or broadcast 'live'?? I join the masses who will not be shepherded over to an 'on line platform' masqueraded as a radio station, after 11 years of loyalty to you, your concerts and shows, and your wonderful sponsors. It's no surprise you got booed so loudly at the Oakville Jazz Festival. I felt soooooo sorry for the nice young man on stage before Warren Hill. Where were the dj's or owners to face the wrath of listeners that night? Since I wont be listening, i wont be able to support your advertisers, attend your concerts (if you even have any?), nor spread word of your events, again, if any. I make no apologies for that; you've made no apologies for your decision.Thanks, but no thanks. I too, 'wave' goodbye for good.
And speaking of 'personalities you love', what ever happened to the rest of the hosts, namely Stew and Mich? Both those young men were creative, inspiring, youthful and fun, and so very nice to talk to on the phone. I hope they both turn up elsewhere on the radio dial as they deserve, if indeed they were 'gassed'. Can anyone tell me if they are on other stations in the GTA yet?

I have been a daily listener for many years and had all my radios preset # 1, 94.7. It is a bitter sweet in our house hold since my wife likes new country and yours truly Jazz. My wife Sue understands what I am feeling since she gone through this with her country stations changing formats all the time...95.3 example. Hopefully you will get back on the FM dial soon...I miss you guys!!!

Please reconsider!!! after a stressful day your station was a great relief mentally and physically- I could literally feel myself relax when listening to the WAVE- for the love of all that is good and peaceful- give your fans the little piece of enjoyment in their day back-

It is very good news , that you are intending to find and appropiate fm radio dial for the upcoming future, I will certainly support you in every way possible , so we can get this as soon as possible, I do miss you in every respect of the word, it is not the same , but will try to cope with the inconvenience , glad to hear that you are doing whatever it takes to get back on the FM signal.

Wrong move on making the radio station into a Country Music Station - Good Move on keeping the Wave Smooth Jazz alive on the internet. Wishing all the staffs of Wave best on all of their endevours, Keep up the good choice of music. I hope the DJ's on KX94.7 won't preform as good as the smooth jazzers this way they can revive the station to what it was before

My friends and I were just talking about on why Wave 94.7 decided to pull out off the air. We all expressed our disappointment and still don't understand why it has to happen. Wave 94.7 has already established a huge fan base within the GTA and suddenly..its gone. Why country music? There were a lot of country music station back in the 90 and they are all gone. So why put it back? Who listens to country music anyways...

I was a fairly new listener but enjoyed having the Wave on at my desk at work. I know the Station Owners have put their heart and soul into the station so assume they know what they're doing. Will miss the Smooth Jazz

Taking this station off the air has got to be one of the dumbest, Near Sighted and strategicaly wrong moves in Canadian broadcasting history. I am hopeful that this blunder can be rectified once the Ad Revenue drops like a stone.
Whose "Bright" idea was that anyway?

Search as I might, I can't find anything to compare to the WAVE. The entire family was disappointed. Our radio sits silent. Why have you abandoned us?

Just needed to express my disappointment and disgust that 94.7 now playing country music. I BEG you to please return to your previous programming......which was awesome! As a music lover, and musician, I am fairly open-minded with music and will give anything a try......but country?!?!?....you must be kidding!

I have listen to this station since the second day it was on the air, dispite the problem due to its low power. Now I can hear it all the way to the cottage. Would that approval have come if it was playing Country?

The Wave was part of my daily drive. The suddenly I thought there was a problem on my radio, I checked, I checked and checked - I'm on the right frequency! I guess the station has a problem not my radio. I guess I gotta find other station to listen on my drive. Sorry...

Sad to see you go off air on the radio. You made my drive to work & home so much easier!

I had bragged about our great Jazz station to my facebook friends in the Philippines. I also had to tell them later uow bitterly disappointed I was with this sudden change from jazz to country.

The good thing is, since I will be moving to the Philippines at the end of August, I will be able to follow you on the internet. :))

Extremely disappointed with this change
You have definitely lost a listener here!
Country music...you have to to be kidding!!

I am saddened & disappointed that WAVE 94.7 went off the air. That was the only station I listened to since moving to this area 10 years ago. I miss everything about it and nothing on the radio today compares to what the WAVE offered. I sincerely hope you will be able to find a way to bring this wonderful & unique station back to the airwaves. My days are just not the same without the WAVE...every radio I own was tuned to WAVE 94.7. I'm definitely mourning the loss!! Please find a way to come back to us.....the internet format is not easily accessible to everyone.

Since the day I learned about the Wave 94.7 – about 8 years ago it is my station to go to.
My station number one on my home stereo system, my kitchen radio, my car, my work…
And then I woke up early Tuesday morning, turned on my radio and hear COUNTRY!!!
What a disappointment!

That is such a sad change - I cannot believe!
I still listen to you at work(computer), but I miss you guys.
I miss you at home and my car... You provide with a wonderful calming change after 10 crazy hours at work when I slip onto my driver seat and indulge in my smoothies…

I hope there will be a way to have you again available on the radio.

Kindest regards,

Holy cow....wondered what was going when I was driving home from the U.S. Tuesday evening and finally was within 94.7 range at Woodstock, "country" on my dial....OMG - patiently the closer I got to the GTA, still 'country'. I'm not a 'country' fan, don't expect I ever will be, nor am I enjoying trying to find a replacement station...we all know there isn't any!! The saddest scenario in all this is the exposure the artists will not receive. Ahhhh yes, smooth jazz is soul soothing....perhaps THAT is what we are all missing in our crazy days.....my early morning wake-up will never be the same. Perhaps I'm one of the fortunates in that I'm still above to listen online at work. Thanks WAVE 94.7, for making my world a better place.....for now. Doug and Mary....I'm sure this wasn't an easy decision and I'm also sure it's not pleasant reading disappointment, one after another...it is what it is. All the best in your future endeavours.
