Radio 2 plays all sorts of music. It's 102.1 FM in Calgary. Try listening to podcasts of their programs to get an idea of if there's anything you like. Just about everything they have is available as a podcast.
You can also listen to Radio 3, available online and on satellite radio, which has its own programming.
I listen to Radio One (99.1 FM/1010 AM in Calgary) just about every weekday, and I love it precisely because it's something that a private radio network could never provide: commercial-free general interest programs. Something pleasant and thought-provoking to listen to during the day. The closest thing private radio networks have is "talk radio" (e.g. CHQR (770 AM) in Calgary), which mostly consists of some asshole yelling about society going to hell in a handbasket for seven minutes, then five minutes of a bunch of assholes trying to sell you something (commercials), then back to the asshole ranting and raving about the depravity of the world and the stupidity of liberals and such.
And don't even get me started on most radio stations' "morning shows". *shudder*
(If you want to listen to Radio One podcasts, or streamed online, you can do that too.)
