MTV. MuchMusic. Video Hits on CBC. Artists were once made by their music video, but now that 'Music Television' doesn't exist, what is the point of making one anymore?

Radio Dale 73: Our Predictions for 'Song of the Summer'

The Song of the Summer is the golden ticket, the mountain peak, the World Cup (topical) of the music industry. To have the Song of the Summer is basically saying "Your song is the most successful, memorable, and obnoxiously overplayed song of the year."

Radio Dale 72 - Music: 15 Years After Napster

Fifteen years ago this week, the original 'Digital Disruption' took place when Napster was born. The music industry was changed forever...blah blah blah, we've all heard it before.

Radio Dale 67 - Rock Radio in Toronto

Recently, Toronto's classic rock station Q107 decided to do a shift in the music they play. Added to their classic rock playlist were the hits of the 90s like Nirvana, Soundgarden and Temple of the Dog. Most surprisingly, 'classic rock sounding' hits of the 2010s also made it into the playlist, like Black Keys and The Sheepdogs. What does this mean for rock radio in Toronto, where several stations are already playing modern rock music, and now more and more stations are playing similar songs. And...what's going on with rock radio in general? Radio Dale is the podcast about music, musicians and the Canadian music industry from our unique perspective at the Dale Speaking offices.

Canada has adopted this amazing American rock band, and they're back with a new single. It's Rival Sons with 'Open My Eyes' from their upcoming album 'Great Western Valkyrie.' ROUNDTABLE: Q107, The Edge, Indie88, Y108, The Rock, HTZ Fm...although not all in Toronto, depending where you live in the city you can tune into most or all of these rock stations. It used to be that switching to Q meant switching back in time, and you wouldn't hear the hits of the 90s, 2000s and 2010s. Recently, everything changed. You 'might' hear Black Keys on all six of these stations now. What does that mean for rock radio in Toronto? And what does it say about rock in Toronto in general? ---- THE MUSIC: Rival Sons - Open My Eyes (Feature) Web: http://rivalsons.com Polite Fiction - Come A Little Closer (Intro) Web: http://politefiction.bandcamp.com Gloryhound - Let You Down Again (behind This Week In Music History) Web: http://gloryhoundband.com Toob - Sweet Harmony (behind This Week On The Charts) Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/toob-music Elise LeGrow - No Good Woman (First segment of opening theme) RADIO DALE LOGOS courtesy of /r/picrequests on Reddit.
