HFX Broadcasting Inc./Z103.5 FM were approved by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission to operate a new English-language commercial FM radio station, this one with a focus on the adult alternative. Z103.5 has 24 months to get the station on the air, and they plan to have it running in about a year. Okay, so maybe they won't be playing Mess Folk, Shannon and the Clams or The Sweet Sixteens, but it's marginally better than Nickelback, so I'm not going to start complaining yet.
