X92.9, Calgary's "No Nickelback" Station, Wants Band Sacked From Lions Halftime
There is a rock station in Alberta known as X92.9 "Calgary's New Rock Alternative" which since its launch about five years ago, has issued a "No Nickelback Guarantee," promising that they will not play Alberta's own Nickelback, the rock band that everybody loves to hate.
Case in point: The NFL has announced that Nickelback will be performing the halftime show during the Detroit Lions' Thanksgiving game vs. the Green Bay Packers.
Not surprisingly, X92.9 is capitalizing on this by endorsing a petition signed by over 10,000 people within the first 24 hours, imploring the NFL to boot the band from the game.

I have a question regarding a passage in the above article: It says that X92.9 had to not only cancel a syndicated show that had Nickelback on its playlist one week, but had apologized to their listeners for pretty much carrying the show in the first place - but it doesn't list what the show was... does anyone know?
