Enjoy The Music While You Can. TSN Radio 1150 Arrives On Labour Day

Seeing as a good number of people have been coming here lately looking for info and a couple have even asked me about it, I thought I’d pass on the news I just got about the end of classic hits CKOC and the beginning of TSN Radio 1150 Hamilton. As I figured but never confirmed, …

Baseball, Books And More Music Than I Could Possibly Listen To? Please Take My Money, TuneIn

Often when I open the TuneIn Radio app, I’m greeted with a pitch for the premium service. Now and then I’ve thought about trying it out since what it offers sounds pretty decent, but I’ve never bothered to give it a go. But it seems I may have to get off my arse and just …

That Was A Pretty Sweet Home Run Derby

R.I.P. Tony Verna. Let’s Take Another Look At That. R.I.P. Tony Verna.
