96X
Big Earl Sucks!! I miss 96X!!!! RealG187 17:13, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

They should kept "Triple X" I the only time I hardly ever listened to the radio was that one beatiful hours every friday night! I listened to almost all of them, to the point where I hear the same uncut songs over and over and loved it! Them stopping that and no more rap lead to their failure, to comptete w/ the bouce they shoulda made triple x more often! I listened to the boucne when (I did listen to the radio) all the time except for friday nighgt/saturday norming 12:00 AM! RealG187 19:44, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

On December 12, 2005, 96X morphed into "Big Earl 96 dot 3" and adopted a new country format, as well as the slogan "He plays anything country". The station's new identity was modelled after Newcap's CFCW "Big Earl 98 dot 1" station in Camrose. Within hours of the change, CHBN began broadcasting itself as "Edmonton's only hit music station" and over the next few months expanded its playlist to fill 96X's former niche. The Camrose station was rebranded as "CAM FM" and began to play classic rock.

This text indicates that Big Earl failed and 96X went back, it this true? ill have to turn to 96.3 for the first time in about a year to find out! RealG187 19:47, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Past and present personalities
I've removed the section "Past and present personalities" from the article because there were no sources providing in support and thus no way to verify that any of those listed were connected to the station or in what capacity they were connected. There's nothing wrong with re-adding a version of the section, but some sort of common selection criteria should be established for inclusion. Simply adding the name of anyone who once was a DJ at the station is not really the way to go. Only those who are notable enough for their own Wikipedia article, or perhaps received coverage in secondary reliable sources probably are worth mentioning. Also, the list should be used to publicize/promote the station's current line-up per WP:NOTPROMOTION. -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:38, 28 April 2016 (UTC)
