If only the CTV Toronto weather presenter would slow down her delivery so we could at least decipher what she is speed talking.

Nice to see Zuraidah back on CTV Toronto last night
Now if they could only find a weather person that talked a little slower.

Thank you Execulink, my fibre cable provider, For not substituting that network that just cut a bunch of jobs, and letting those evil Super Bowl ads through.

CTV Kitchener noon news replaced by a game show, kind of ironic.

900 CHML is nothing but a clone of AM640 now, especially since Bill Kelly was dropped.

[color=var(--secondary-text)]From their Facebook page,
[color=var(--primary-text)]Dave's Corner Garage  will be airing our final show on Saturday December 16th. We could not have enjoyed such tremendous success without YOU, our many listeners/followers and the team at AM 740. Stay tuned for some special shows over the next 2 Saturdays. As Dave always said, "keep the shinny side up, and the greasy side down".[/color][/color]

Stolen from Phil Gilles Facebook post
[color=var(--secondary-text)] [/color][color=var(--primary-text)]CKPC Radio, which started broadcasting in Brantford in 1933, is closing down. Today is its last day in operation.

I remember when CKPC was a thriving station - an important part of everything that went on in the Brantford area. In the '80s there were seven people working in the newsroom.

Like many small market stations, it had fallen on hard times. Next to no capacity to report on local events and issues. Ad revenues had dried up. It was a shell of it's former self.

One significant event I'll never forget.......

When Canada smuggled the six US diplomats out of Iran In January, 1980 (the 'Canadian Caper' - inaccurately portrayed in the Hollywood movie Argo) - Prime Minister Joe Clark was campaigning in Brantford.

Surrounded by around 20 reporters, Prime Minister Clark announced to the world that Canada had gotten the Americans out of Tehran to safety in the West - and he made the announcement in the lobby of CKPC.

I was standing about twelve feet away from the PM as he made the announcement.

A significant day in Brantford history.

Anyway - RIP to a once-proud local broadcaster.[/color]

Sorry, but Farming for Love is by far the worse waste of a weekly hour on CTV.
