Winnipegs newest Hip-Hop Station

If you havent been paying attention you may have missed it. Lost at the back end of the radio spectrum is a little station playing some solid Rap.

Nestled close to its Big Brother/Sister station 105.5 FM; 104.7 Streetz has been playin continuous music as they fine tune there playlists and get there young DJ's ready for prime time.

It has been almost 2 years since Winnipeg last had a rap radio station, 107 "Flava" was considered a "radio school" but run on to hard financial times. Where is Franky now :P

Anyways this new station sounds good, even though they dont have any DJ's working yet and considering that its backed by NCI-FM has the financial backing to go the distance.

Now for the weird part. The DJ's

92.1 = Old Men

92.9 = College Students

94.3 = Cougars

97.5 = Mid/Late 20's

101.1 = Brutal University Students

103 = Teeny Boppers and Club music for

104 = Cowboys

104.7 = Mid 20's Aboriginal

105.5 = Cowboys

107 = No idea .... christian rock ?!?

Woah thats right 104.7 is aboriginal in nature :). Blacks need not apply.

Quoted from there own site
WHO IS STREETZ FM 104-7?

In 2008, NCI-FM put in a successful application into the CRTC to receive one of the last radio licenses for the city of Winnipeg. They received the approval to launch a Hip Hop and urban music station targeting Aboriginal youth and all youth who love Hip Hop music. This station is STREETZ 104-7.

WHO ARE STREETZ 104-7 LISTENERS?

Aboriginal youth are the fastest growing demographic in Winnipeg. Winnipeg’s Aboriginal population is estimated to be near 90,000 and growing quickly. According to the 2006 Census, the median age for the Aboriginal community is 27 years old compared to 40 years old in the rest of the population. This is the youngest and fastest growing segment of the city and it is not be served directly by any media.


As close minded as this post now seems, not to worry I'm not judging. But could a White guy get some representation.This is Winnipeg, lots of other minorities like hiphop....look at the filipino's! Anyways the music is good and hopefully the DJ's are talented.

FYI Jules, Jesica, and Sadie are hot :P
