morris Z-92 is in omaha and years ago there was KQ98 which was in council bluffs,ia. it was a rock station. the Z is the strongest radio station in omaha. but we have 103.7 fm the kat. and 93.3 the wolf. which are country stations. every once in a while i listen to country music. but i grew up on rock mostly. on saturdays if you want to hear something really funny go to OPB.org and you can get prairie home companion thats a radio show. and its funny. it starts off with click and clack then wait,wait don't tell me, what do you know, then prairie home companion. and you can stream that thru OPB.org. on the computer. so you can get it. and it is funny. and prairie home companion is a 2 hour radio show. give it a chance and let me know what you think! make sure your speakers are turned on.

In Edmonton we have 22 radio stations. It makes no sense But they all seem to thrive, and they are still adding more.

I got a 6 month subscription to Sirius Radio last fall with my F150, this beats the commercial stations around here.

Evening Alberta. We have a Gander Mountain here.

I like listening to my CD player most of the time.

I haven't been to a Bass Pro Shop. but I imagine it is close. Deals with outdoor stuff. Hunting, fishing, trapping and such.

Ya same thing then. The Bass pro shop up here is pretty impressive with all the mounts and the fish tank with live trout( and they are HUGE). Cabelas is similar just on a smaller scale.

Gander Mountain doesn't have all the glitz and glamor.

That would probably help keep the prices down. less spent on decor=less over head.

Their prices are a tad high.. At least that is my feel. They do have some pretty good specials just have to hit them at the right time.
