I didn't know anything about this and it's on CTV right now.  So far a great sit down with Mick and lots of clips.  It is also on again at 7:30 on CTV2 and should be available on Crave likely tomorrow.  Tyrone Edwards is in London for the interview and from what I have seen he is doing a "ripper" job.  Jagger has been relaxed, funny and has lots to say.  

Does anyone at all, watch e talk?
 

I don't, but just stumbled across this at 7:15.  It was on again on CTV2.  Very well done and Mick was on for the whole half hour.  Last that I heard, ETalk does quite well and the show has been on for a long long time.  Whether an interview with Jagger would be any kind of draw is anyone's guess.  But good on them for doing this. 

Telemundo is also available over the air in the US and have local O&Os and affiliates that produce local news. Some of the O&Os in bigger markets bunk with their sister NBC O&O station, and NBC has been cross promoting Telemundo's coverage on the local and national newscasts. In some markets, Telemundo is also the #1 station, regardless of language. 

It’s very common for Spanish speaking households to identify as English speaking. Especially lately…for some reason.

Madison Shipman will make Blue Jays history on Friday as the first woman to ever call a regular season Blue Jays game. She'll be in the booth all weekend, doing play-by-play, where in the past, she's been basically restricted to being an analyst and commentator on radio post game shows. She's also done similar analysis work for ESPN.

She has called two games in spring training, but this is the first time when it counts - during the regular season. 

Shipman comes by her knowledge of the game honestly - she once played professional softball in Tennessee.

Madison Shipman to make Blue Jays history with broadcast debut

Are Blue Jays TV games available in a different language?  A break from motor-mouth Shulman would be a nice change.

Maybe chin should change there aplication somehow and apply for 570, but would that actualy make there signal better with sportsnet 590 neer by?

If you think this is a problem, check out what happened to three stations in Wyoming, after a "key piece of equipment that's "very expensive to replace" suddenly died. 

"The organization ceased its online streaming broadcasting and other operations to keep expenses down after the equipment failed...The necessary investment in equipment to bring the signals back on air is in the “hundreds of thousands of dollars.”

As a result, the stations could be off the air for days or even weeks. Yikes!

In this continuing look at the days of radio charts, comes two great stations, both of whom used the same kind of style for a while. WRKO was once one of the biggest rock stations in Boston. And KHJ Los Angeles needs no introduction. 

This Beantown edition is from this week in 1971.





The WRKO Chart underwent a number of noticeable changes over the years. Here's the same station, only in 1974




A year later, the chart format changed again.
.



And by 1979, when listeners first began to abandon AM in earnest for FM, it underwent yet another alteration. 



WRKO was the only radio station that took out an ad in the Woodstock program in 1969.



Meanwhile, this KHJ Los Angeles edition is from Sept. 1970 and is equally colourful to the early RKO pamphlet.

Perhaps Skywave can comment as he's had a lot of experience with AM.  Through a North American treaty, Canada the US and Mexico are obligated to provide protection to frequencies in adjacent countries.   It is my understanding that if WOR wanted to change their night time pattern (that's where skywave reflection extends the signal at night), the treaty would need to be modified, for the 710 frequency.   I don't see Canada wanting to grant concessions these days even when we know full well that those stations "aren't coming back".   It does provide an opportunity for re-licensing less directional or non-directional facilities in Canada on the abandoned frequencies,  for example 900 - chml's old frequency has been re-licensed to CHIN to operate around York Mills and Lawrence.  But the power is much reduced at night versus CHML, because of the nature of the CHIN antenna (non directional).

Once again, MyBroadcasting does something you don't see very often - inform listeners they'll be off the air, how long it will last and the reasons for it. 

The latest came on the website for CFMY at 96.1 in Renfrew. They don't tell you why, exactly, but just the fact they're letting their audience know in advance is great. It's the same station that had a similar announcement at the end of June. 

Here's the announcement.

John Moore will also be starting his month-long vacation on Monday, meaning both morning hosts on the city's two talk stations will have substitute hosts. 

Interesting to note Moore will be hanging around the city for at least the first week, because he's agreed to be at the Xmas Wish promotion on July 16th. So for that day only, you may hear him back on the radio for live hits. 
 

Don't know if I missed it here but Jack FM in Halifax also lost the local morning show.

Amidst all the outrage over Rogers closing six stations at once, this was overlooked - two morning radio DJs at the company's Victoria FM station were also let go. 

AJ Cruze and Mira Laurence had been working at Ocean 98.5 doing morning drive since 2022, when they discovered on Thursday they'd done their last show together. 

“AJ and I have had so much these past few years, connecting with the Ocean family and growing the Ocean family. I’m sorry we didn’t get a chance to give a proper goodbye,” said Laurence."

It's not clear who might take over the slot or how it will be programmed.

Canadian productions Heartland and Murdoch Mysteries have been long running popular shows in all corners of the globe.  And earlier this year Heated Rivalry was in the centre of the Hollywood hype machine and an international hit.   But another series has quietly been doing great around the world for a few years.   CTV's Sullivan's Crossing has joined the group.

Last week Netflix began running season 4 of Sullivan's Crossing.  Like last year it entered the top ten streamed shows for Netflix globally at #6 and at #4 in the US.  Both Netflix and CW run Sullivan's Crossing after CTV.

It is the number one show on CW and one of three Canadian scripted shows that the network runs .  Interesting to note that all of CW's current scripted programs are cancon.  All three are helping the struggling US network with fresh programming and to stay in business. Sullivan's Crossing, Wild Cards both showed good growth in ratings for the network compared to last year and Law & Order Toronto seems to be off to a strong start for their first season on US broadcast TV.  Top 10 Most Popular Shows on Netflix Right Now in United States
