Of all the sites on the internet, this is one.
I’m having another end of an era moment. I just learned that at some point in the near future, London’s AM 1410 CKSL will cease to exist. Not because of a dramatic format shift (that’s already happened to that station several times), but because Bell Media recently applied to the CRTC to have its license …

Last Sunday night, we were watching TV like any other night. I should note that the weather outside was completely calm and anything but frightful. Then, all of a sudden, the sound that I thought was strictly reserved for weather events went off. Sorry I had to use a shitty Youtube video that was taken …

I’m a big fan of crime documentaries, so this sounds like it might be worth checking out. But gees Louise, the announcement needs work. Not just because of the typos, either. The bigger issue is that in all the gushing and such over the host’s credentials, previous work and who’s doing the music, they forgot …

I’m hardly what you’d call a regular listener, but Rex Murphy retiring as host of Cross Country Checkup on September 20th still qualifies to me as pretty big news just because he’s such a fixture up here. Rex says, “It’s the right time for me to step down. The continuing conversation I have had every …

June 8th, 2018 update: Don passed away yesterday. He was 82.
Bell Media announced yesterday that it plans to flip 1150 CKOC Hamilton to TSN Sports Radio from its current oldies…sorry…classic hits format between now and the fall. I don’t know why we call it classic hits instead of oldies now, but everybody seems to have jumped on this train. Listen. The newest songs from the …
