[edit] History
When CIBK made its debut in 2002, they thought they would become the city's first R&B/hip hop outlet, but they were beaten to the punch by CKIS. This would spark a format war in Calgary. By 2003, CKIS would bail out for the Jack FM format, leaving CIBK as the victor.
However CIBK would also go through an evolution of its own as they transitioned to a mainstream top 40 direction by 2004. Although The Vibe still plays R&B/hip hop product (but not as much), they also incorporate pop and dance into the mix, in part due to its license with the CRTC that requires the station to be programmed as a CHR outlet.
[edit] Vibe Morning Show
The Vibe Morning Show runs on weekday mornings until 9 AM. It is hosted by Chad Martin[1], Dani Rohs[2], and "Fuzzy"[3]. Kelsey Moore was a former co-host, who left in late March 2007.
The morning show runs several contests where listeners phone in to participate and win prizes. It also runs several segments such as "Celebrity Sleaze" and "TV Talk".
They have created the popular parody "In Da Dome" in 2004 when the Calgary Flames were in their Stanley Cup run.
[edit] Survey Says
Survey Says is one of the phone-in contests held by the Vibe Morning Show, and is related to the game show Family Feud. A question would be:
