Is there a website yet?

No website to my knowledge, typically these types of stations don't have one for obvious reasons.
Only way to tune in is being located within the station's signal range or on the SkyChoice TV service.

Outside of Oakville, most areas of Mississauga, Milton or Burlington should be able to receive the signal with a good outdoor FM antenna as the signal is noisy but can still be heard when driving in those places.

For those who are not luckey to be in oakville or have sky choice, they should stream on mytuner, tunein or onlineradiobox.

Global is also running promos telling viewers to show local and Canadian, and touting Global as “proudly Canadian”

Silly of them because they have mostly american shows.
CTV has more cancon than global does.

Can someone let me know when 640 Toronto is talking about something other than tariffs. This coverage is completely overblown

The radio neads to have more reporting on this issue.

I really appreciated the CanCon music bumpers on 1010 on MITM.

My favorite moment was when a new caller said hello to John Moore, made the usual how ya doing inquiry and John said quite plainly and in a matter of fact tone "I'm anxious." He didn't overplay or underplay the seriousness of what we're facing. Well done Mr. Moore.

A sense of community is an enormous part of the magic of radio and if there's a silver lining in this ongoing trade war coverage it may be that radio has another chance to shore up the value and comfort it brings to Canadians.

Good for CFRB for doing what no social media influencer can do.
Radio broadcasters are still the real influencers.

When can we do away with these silly traditions and non-events?

I know!
Canada's weather has changed drasticly from even when I was a little boy.
We might become like florida, India or the UAE, but more likely Florida or India.
Last year was hot and dry with hevvy rains mixxed in.
We did not get a real spring.
We went from winter to summer.

I remember john on CFRB on weakend mornings when I was a little boy in the 2000s.
His show was very entertaining.
Lots of musical guests.
John, you will be missed on the radio.

ACC's Algoma Compass has barely laid up in Owen Sound!  Now they'll be shipping back out! 😁

(Why is it every year I have to recheck if it's shadow or no shadow that dictates the call? 🤔)

Instead, check snowfall or no snowfall.
The growndhog is mostly rong.
Last year, I don't remember a big snowfall so on may 24 we had a delhi or dubai like heetwave.
This year, we might get spring.
Lets whate until this year's may 24

104.5 chum only has hd1.
Same goes for elmnt fm.
Not much variety on hd radio in the GTA and even less in buffalo.
The only ones that have subchannels that you can get cleerly in the GTA are WBFO, WNED, WKSE and WDCX.

5 stations  you missed that come in depending where you are.

95.9 KX96 Country HD1, Wave (smooth Jazz/soft AC) HD2, and CKDO Classic Hits HD3.   This is setup on both their cochannel repeater in downtown Toronto and their main in Ajax/Oshawa

94.7  KX94-7 Country HD1, Wave (Smooth Jazz/Soft AC) HD2, and THE GRAND Classic Hits HD3   This is mostly heard west side of Toronto without issue.

103.5  Z1035 uses HD1

AM530 Multicultural is in HD (sounds FM Stereo)

92.1  Lite 92 - AC HD1  Hot Country HD 2.   Strong signal from Brantford, most of the west GTA gets it without issue. 

Kitchener has only one in HD 99.5 Bounce Radio, but this was done mostly to push back 99.5 from Buffalo.  This signal is too small to hit any part of the GTA...




 

I can even get light 92 here in scarborough with out the hd subcha

CTV news is more balanced than, lets say, CNN or MSNBC.
The clossest thing we had to far-right was Sun news.
Some far-right in Canada like to call CTV news far-left, CTV news is the ferthest thing from Far-left.
If they want to talk about far-left, they should have listened to CKLN or any campus radio station in a large city.

But, they should.
If bell thoght out their sails right, they would have sold CKLH and others to Pattison.
I'm hopefull that WhiteOaks does a good job running those stations.

Love the PP talking point and if you are going to accuse bias at least use "too"

Well, the CBC has mostly become a left-wing media outlet.
Its like the msnbc of Canada when it should be more unbiused like the BBC or like PBS news.

He probably left because the CBC's to far-left.
He was the best host on CBC news network.
He gave a voice to both conservitives and the left.
Hope he comes back.

Well, good for you for using technology to participate in the world. I admit to being one of those who wondered if they were teaching any spelling in schools anymore. It's helpful to learn the whole story before being judgmental about someone's writing.

Some of us old codgers round these parts are set in our ways. Having youthful interventions may enhance the discussion, within the parameters as set out by our helpful moderator, RadioActive, of course. Wink, wink. 

Well, You guis are smarter than my generation who eats tide pods and whatnot.

No.
We were toght more how to sound out words and typing.
The school I went to expected a bunch of blind children to know how to spell.
We read braille, not print.
