Well, by all the response, this was a popular channel in the US. I put it in as one of my WTD presets, and tuned in a few times, like 5-6. In those times, I think I heard one or two songs in English, and it was Candian-born artists. I tried really hard to listen to the French ones. But it's like when people around you start speaking in foreign languages, and it makes you mad because you have no idea what they are talking about! I am giving it 2 stars, since it is something that I will never tune to again, but someone who speaks french might.

I agree with you... I was expecting a 50/50 split of English and French language songs. Turns out the vast majority appears to be in French. The little Cajun French I know doesn't help me one bit here. down4six, thanks for giving it a listen!
