Of all the sites on the internet, this is one.
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 …

It’s become a morning routine to have CBC Radio 2 on as I get ready for work. Because of this, we discovered something that Tom Power does every weekday morning around 8:20 ish. He calls it the great big sing-along. Basically, he picks a song that bunches of us know the words to, and says …
There are some really good, attention grabbing radio commercials floating around out there. Unfortunately, it’s hard to find them amongst all the boring, shitty ones. If you want to make radio ads but don’t want to be boring and shitty, watch these videos and don’t do any of the things shown within.
I didn’t know this, but today will mark 75 years of the National Research Council’s official time signal airing on CBC Radio. For the uninitiated, that would be the series of beeps you hear every day at 1 in the afternoon right before the news starts. CBC has published an article to celebrate it, and …
Thanks for the title idea, Carin. I wish I’d come up with it. I’m not going to get into all the family squabbles and elder abuse surrounding this. It’s all just shitty and sad, and Casey Kasem deserves better. I just want to say a quick goodbye to the guy I listened to on CKSL …

If anyone from the New York Yankees organization is reading this, next time you guys are looking for a play by play voice, keep me in mind. I’ve got a decent radio voice, I can think quickly, I’ve been told a time or 2 that I’m friendly and even engaging, and my ability to follow …
I just heard the news that 97.7 HTZ FM’s Iron Mike Bensson died of cancer this morning. He was 60, which I never would have guessed. I’m shocked. Not shocked that he had cancer, but shocked that it took him. Shocked and sad. He put up a hell of a fight against it, from the …
I’ve known about 101.9 Dawg FM since it launched a few years ago, but for one reason or another I’d never tuned in to check it out until yesterday even though the idea of a full-time blues station sounded like one of the best things in the world to me. Suffice it to say, after …
