groundbreaking station, thank you.

88.7 actually had a life as an alternative rock station before 89X... back in the '70s as CJOM (the format was called "progressive rock" then). I think they then became a Top 40 and then an AC station before 89X debuted. The CIMX call letters actually stand for "Mix" which was the AC format just prior to 89X.

And 89X IS subject to Canadian content laws although as a border station they get to play less of it than stations elsewhere in Canada.

I love the Sunday morning Time Warp, by the way.

Incorrect. Windsor is exempt from CRTC regulations requiring Canadian content.

Way to state the obvious everyone in Detroit knows its a windsor station and the biggest border city to a usa/canadian border is Detroit hence we have the best of canadian music since the air waves reach our city, while minnesota the whole state, is a useless market of "skip over" people in the usa aka no one cares and canada doesnt market to them like windsor to Detroit does.

89x is the biggest canadian station that gets broadcast in the usa its a simple search Detroit is the market. We own~

Back in the 90s didn't they used to have some British DJ guy in the morning? In North America people think a British accent makes one an expert. LOL. BTW i used to like when they had that sex advice show at night - it was like Dr. Drew (& Adam) but it was a woman.

I guess it's hard to understand how MUCH MORE CHEESIER radio was before 89X came along. At the time (I was 19 so I guess technically I could be your father or at least much older), this station was infinitely better than what was on American radio at the time. I guess I'm a bit too old for it now (plus I don't live in Detroit anymore) and I've got satellite radio. Glad to hear you like 89X. No need to feel ashamed - we can't control the year we were born.
