Alternative Edmonton
SONiC's playlist covers modern rock and alternative music: the big alternative bands of the last two decades, the indie and alt-pop songs crossing over to the mainstream, and new releases from rising artists. Canadian acts get a lot of airtime, which makes the station a good way to discover new music from across the country as well as from Alberta's own scene. Familiar alternative anthems from the 90s and 2000s also turn up, so the sound mixes discovery with songs you already know.
More than a playlist
The station is closely tied to Edmonton's live music life. It promotes concerts and festivals, interviews touring artists and gives listeners chances to win tickets. Its on-air hosts bring a local voice, talking about the city, its events and its sports teams between songs. SONiC has also been a launching pad for Canadian alternative artists looking for their first radio play.
