I bet this was in the works locally before the Bell announcement. Bell execs would not have communicated that they were selling 40+ stations to local management until the morning of. Blame the PD/GM if such a thing exists in the Ottawa cluster.

Just checked the playlists from JUMP and CFNY for this mornings show.  They definitely are not playing the same music.  So I guess on both stations the hosts won't be saying anything about the artists or songs played on either show.  Sort of a big flaw for two music oriented stations. 

This isn't unique for CORUS. Willy on Rock 101 Vancouver did Q107 Calgary mornings for a  number of years. My understanding is that they would jump from personality to personality in different Vancouver studios delivering bits to Calgary one or two breaks ahead, but kind of in real time. That sounds like lots of work.

Contractor for CORUS.  And no, apart from a possible Google refresher, like we all would do, he actually lived through, researched wrote and talked about Sinead's career over the past 30 years. He had files on artists well before the internet. I find that comment highly disrespectful. He's not a talking head. He is a music historian, and that is his legacy.  Stop shitting on talent.

Have to jump in on this one. I found K-ROCK (VOCMFM) scanning Tune In one Saturday night looking for a show to replace Bachman on the CBC. Big Tom's Shed, featuring J-LaC is the best Saturday Night "party show" I've ever heard. Whether or not the calls from drunk or stoned Newfoundlanders are real, J-Lac does a great job of weaving together Rock of the ages with the partiers on the Rock. The reason I bring this up is that they run morning  show promos through Big Tom's Shed and the promos are actually funny. I'll never be up early enough to hear a show, but I love the idea of it.

I hope they give it a "retro" look.

Oh golly. This is the most ridiculous consultant piece I’ve read in years. It’s not about the appliance ffs.

Best of luck to them! Good to see a rock station launch, albeit with an unfortunate moniker. Surge is one of those words like “moist” that has an uncomfortable feel to it. Also, there’s currently a surge of COVID Delta variant so that’s a shame.

Love listening to UTI but I am having difficulty placing Fred Latrimwah. Fred Latrimoe I know, Latrimwah not so much. Fred Latremouille  is a Vancouver radio legend. Terry should have gotten his name right.

Yes. That made me sad. Fred was to Vangroovy what Roger Ashby was to Toronto. I am sad that Terry didn’t take the time to get the right pronunciation. Seems odd for someone I consider a perfectionist.

Is Finkelman still alive? Cause maybe this can be saved. Of course there’d be less Guess Who and Bachman b-sides, but at least The Diamonds would get some love

That’s absolutely awful. I believe he’s a new dad as well. I don’t know him and I won’t send thoughts  and prayers as that’s rubbish , but I’ll throw $20 to https://www.llscanada.org/ unless someone  has a better administrative group suggestion.

Great to see the reasoned, logical response to this post. If it were on any Radio board, say west of Alberta, there would be a significant number of responses in ALL CAPS linking to David Icke posts.
