Algonquin College as well.  They have two frequencies: a very low power AM station at 1710, and an FM licenced at 107.9.

Anyone with a Rogers phone plan, cable or internet can probably expect a rate increase.  Would there also be layoffs?  Or selling some radio?  And do they have enough money to sign Vladdy and Bo?  Stay tuned.

I don't know if Simmons is still part of a show in TSN.  But, anytime he gets a chance, he hammers anything to do with Rogers.  Bruce Garrioch is the same in Ottawa.  He appears on Senators broadcasts and works for Postmedia.  TSN has Garrioch in their pocket.

The main PBS station in Ottawa is WNPI, a rebroadcaster of WPBS from Watertown, New York.  The numbers I have always heard is that 60 percent of its' money comes from Canadians, with 40 percent from Ottawa.

In yesterday's list BOOM 99.7 in Ottawa was not there.  So, I phoned yesterday to see if it would be participating.
No one answered my call.  I left a message.  No return phone call.
Corporate incompetence telling me the state of what was once, a communication industry.

I think this is the old Peacock package, and Sportsnet was allowed to show those games.  As Roku is available in Canada, they may have exclusive rights, or not.

October 19th, 1981 will always be Blue Monday for me and many other Montreal Expos fans.  That was the day Rick Monday hit a homerun to win the National League Championship series, preventing the Expos from a World Series appearance.

I always thought the show was recorded at CJOH in Ottawa.  I think Bill Luxton was the show's announcer.

I love my internet radios.  My main one is a Mondo plus, hooked hp to my Bose stereo and my battery operated one is in my bedroom.  
I had a Sanyo, but it passed on after 14 years.

I was at Olympic Stadium when Rose got his 4,000th hit.  He was playing for the Expos.   You can probably find it on YouTube.
