Currently, the websites at 610cktb.com and htzfm.com are both publicly announced as coming soon. Interestingly, it appears the website for 97.7 HTZ-FM will remain at the historical htzfm.com domain name and not the new 977htzfm.com domain registered by Caine himself.

We all know about the history of CanCon and how it requires radio stations here to play at least 30% of home grown artists. The rules also apply to TV, but there are bizarre rules here that don't apply to other countries which also impose local quotas. 

In places like the UK, France and Australia, a show or movie that takes place in the same nation or was shot there counts towards fulfilling the mandate. Of all the nations in the Canadian Media Fund's list, Canada is the only country that bases its CanCon solely on the personnel involved in a production - and nothing else. 

So if you were to produce a TV series about a Canuck joining the Mounties and trying to save the Great White North from crime but it didn't employ enough Canadians, it won't count as CanCon. I knew this, but seeing the stats side-by-side brings it, you should pardon the expression, home. A Canadian story about Canadians that takes place in Canada isn't enough to make it Canadian. That's insane. Check out the chart below. 

Why Canadian Themes And Filming In Canada Doesn't Count As Canadian Content

It first aired on July 4th, but I heard it on a replay Thursday night. 

It was on the Night Shift with Shane Hewitt and featured interviews with both music publicist Eric Alper and Canadian hitmaker Andy Kim. 

During the two segment back-and-forth, Kim remembered how incredible he felt hearing Kasem introduce one of his songs on American Top 40, and noted how special it was, especially since both men were of Lebanese origin.

Kim also recalled listening to WABC while growing up in Montreal, noting how Cousin Brucie's reviews of how girls were going crazy over the latest pop group made him decide to get into music. 

It's a rare example of when radio looking at itself. And you can hear the entire thing here. 

From the New York Times, July 10 2025:

The FBI is said to be using lie detectors to test employees’ loyalty, asking some whether they have criticized Kash Patel.

Typically, the F.B.I. has turned to polygraph tests to sniff out employees who might have betrayed their country or shown they cannot be trusted with secrets.

Since Kash Patel took office as the director of the F.B.I., the bureau has significantly stepped up the use of the lie-detector test, at times subjecting personnel to a question as specific as whether they have cast aspersions on Mr. Patel himself.In interviews and polygraph tests, the F.B.I. has asked senior employees whether they have said anything negative about Mr. Patel, according to two people with knowledge of the questions and others familiar with similar accounts.

In one instance, officials were forced to take a polygraph as the agency sought to determine who disclosed to the news media that Mr. Patel had demanded a service weapon, an unusual request given that he is not an agent. The number of officials asked to take a polygraph is in the dozens, several people familiar with the matter said, though it is unclear how many have specifically been asked about Mr. Patel.The use of the polygraph, and the nature of the questioning, is part of the F.B.I.’s broader crackdown on news leaks, reflecting, to a degree, Mr. Patel’s acute awareness of how he is publicly portrayed.

The moves, former bureau officials say, are politically charged and highly inappropriate, underscoring what they describe as an alarming quest for fealty at the F.B.I., where there is little tolerance for dissent. Disparaging Mr. Patel or his deputy, Dan Bongino, former officials say, could cost people their job.“An F.B.I. employee’s loyalty is to the Constitution, not to the director or deputy director,” said James Davidson, a former agent who spent 23 y
