The electric cars simply come with HD radios. The AM stations can transmit in HD2
(or HD3...is there an HD 4?)
Doesn't HD solve the problem?

I  guess a large part of his deal is barter with john having his own spots during the day so sell 2 friends.

This new show debuted Tuesday on Sauga 960, and they sound fine. But you'll never believe who Scholes' first guest is. Give up? Lior Samfiru, of course, the same guy he shills for every Monday, Wednesday and Sunday on 640. Also on the show: Greg Carrasco. 

The hosts are both pros, but haven't we heard enough from their guests?

did Blayne Lastman announce he is running against Tory in the next municipal election.

his lower than low quality ads about the DisPickAble virus appear to be positioning him for that but if he did we can't find it online anywhere and figured this is the place to ask.

Whoever thought Gerry Dee was a strong enough personality to front Family Feud Canada?  Was wrong.  At least it isn't Eugene Levy I guess.

I am curious who will replace Ken. Someone from CTV Toronto or perhaps Ottawa, Montreal or Vancouver?

I'm guessing it'll be anyone who has been doing noon news lately instead of Ken.

Moore has been auditioning for his spot for years.

And he’d be a perfect fit.....and would be freed from what he refers to as “the racetrack” - the incessant stream of commercials that private broadcasters need to survive.
Also, because he handles long-form interviews extremely well, he’d be able to branch out.
But I wouldn’t bet on it: Bell Media would be crazy to let him go.

When the 8:30 news has a story 'just coming in' from Toronto police that the host was talking about 20 minutes before, is ihe newsroom that out of touch?

A enjoyable discussion interrupted with a breaking news for traffic 3 mints before news.  Ended up turning 640 and stayed for rest of the drive in.
