102.1 The Edge is leaving the Eaton Centre

What a shame. The streetfront studio has always been a great part of that station. It's true connection to the public will now be gone.

I imagine they'll be dragging Q107 along with them, shortly after.

I felt the same way when rogers had the new locations set up in the far-from-people building near amc. They keep trying to make dundas concrete square happen, sigh.

Exactly...this station barely resembles what it was back then. It's become truly horrible with the same commercial songs being played over and over again, with little connection to the "alternative" artists which it championed in the early days.

Nowadays I hear Metallica and Guns N' Roses on 102.1...since when were these "edge" artists?

cfny was the best radio station for 2 decades. they need to get back to there roots and start playing great music that doesn't get any radio play. i know most fans are in there late 30s now but alternative rock music will make a comeback again. like all fads they die out and so will hip hop. cfny needs to be there when the next rock music movement happens.

I find it weird when I listen to q107 and hear nirvana, pearl jam and STP.

Your all suckers
Sattilite radio is light years ahead of any station

There at the new Corus building on the waterfront. Still open the public. Still Shitty music!

And again, Corus ruins something that was once good.

This is a backwards move all around. Yonge Street loses some excitement, the station loses street cred, and the new studio will always be deserted. Even when the East Bayfront populates over the next 5-6 years, it's so remote down there that it'll never draw crowds like it did on Yonge (or the Annex before it). Stupid move.

The Edge hasn't been meaningful for years. I listened to the morning show today and it dawned on me why Dean Blondell repulses me so much...he's radio's ROB FORD: ignorant, smugly opinionated, and thinks far too highly of himself.

Many people of a certain age still listen to The Edge by default. It's what they used to listen to for great new music and cross their fingers that by leaving it on, maybe they'll hear something new every once in awhile.

CFNY moving their streetfront studios from the heart of The Annex to one of Canada's largest malls always seemed an admission to me. An admission that the little funky station with the big Brampton signal was no longer catering to those with a discerning taste in music, but simply to mall kids. Sadly, I don't think this move out of the mall will change much of anything.
