They should be doing live shows today.  Radio is federally regulated; not provincial.  This is a provincial holiday.

Is it talk radio that is dead in this town; or CFRB on its own.

In my day, if this happened and either the on air person or management heard it, the station would have to make a "make good"  and pretty quickly.  Seriously, If I were the sponsor I would be a little upset. No big deal for the rest of us; but it sure is to the client whose paying for the sponsorship.

I agree with Walter.  The "News" in News Talk 1010 should be dropped.  If I want broadcast news I go to 680 NEWS.  Ok I'm being nostalgic; but the "greats" of the past of CFRB are rolling over in their grave.  I don't follow the ratings much anymore; but I understand that CFRB is at its lowest of all time?  Is talk radio on the decline?

Does this mean that if you're a Rogers Ignite customer, you still won't be able to see anything on HBO Max?

It's been quite sometime that Farrah disappeared from Global.  At the time, she said it was due to a family situation.  This is starting to remind me of the Darryl Lamb situation. It's been a long time.   Not sure why there is no further explanation from Farrah or Global.  Anyone heard anything?  Just concerned.

Let me understand this.  He has left TSN 1050 to work for a small radio station in Mississauga?  Whatever!

Ok, So I didn't have a chance to listen to CHFI's new morning show last week; with the former CP24 team.  Any thoughts or reviews?  I'm surprised no one on  this radio board hasn't said anything.  Maybe you're all like me and haven't had the chance to listen.

With their ratings over the years, I still wonder how they are still on the air.  I guess Corus has lots of money to throw around.

It's interesting that Dina Pugliese was off and now Farah is off for "Family Reasons"  Hmmm. Really. Ryan Doyle like former CHFI morning show host is off for a long period of time.  Darryl now says he is retired.  If you were going to retire; just say so.  I remember a time; when the station or individual would give you a reason.  They are in the public eye, after all.

torontostan.  You know this for sure?  It will be interesting; if true, to hear them attempt to be music hosts.  They are magnificent TV Talk hosts.

Interesting.  At no point did Maureen give a word of thanks to Mr. Lamb.  Perhaps she was told not to.  Who knows?

To my point.  Court of Public Opinion.  Like Cuomo, he had no other choice but to resign.  Tell you what.  You get all the boards, and I'll get the nails.  We'll board up all courtrooms and have people being tried on TV.  What a plan.  BTW, I'm NOT saying Cuomo is not guilty.  I just don't like TV reporters discussing his; or any other case without using the word, ALLEGEDLY.  The word allegedly must be used; before a formal charge and being found guilty in a court of law.

A victim of the Court of Public Opinion.  I remember a day; when you had to be formally charged.  Had your day in court.  The found Guilty or not Guilty.

I have heard that Rogers Ignite is having problems in Scarborough.  It was in the Scarborough Mirror.  Anyone in Scarborough having problems with Ignite as opposed to the classic Rogers.
