Me too! What a disappointment.

Hate to bring this to the table ... but no matter how good weather forecasters are these days there is something called climate change taking place that has thrown all the rules out of the book.

I'm not defending incompetence, but when I source my own weather data all I learn is that there are no more absolutes or guarantees anymore.

As a legendary Edmonton meteorologist and TV personality once said, "Man proposes and Nature dispose."

Is it just me, or is every NHL game I watch these days carrying fake crowd noise.

I know this all started in the Covid era when games were playing in empty arenas but recently this has become more than prevalent.

I can hear the "natural" sound during quieter moments but when things get exciting the canned stuff gets added.

What's the point? Do they think we can't hear the difference???

Sheesh!!!

Might be just a rumour ...

From jonah @yyzsportsmedia: 

Multiple sources tell me that tomorrow* could be a very rough day at Bell Media. Word is multiple radio stations could be sold and or shuttered completely. I've heard as many as 50 could be effected. Word is staff meetings, shareholder and press releases to come in the am.

From Broadcast Dialogue...

Can somebody translate this for me into English - as in, what does she actually do based on her alleged experience?

And then a latecomer enters the party, hears what's being talked about and exclaims, "Ted Kennedy's been shot?"

Sheesh! Misteaks like that could decimate a career.

Way back in the old days, if you owned reel-to-reel tape, it was recommended that you store your tapes in a "played" position.

Another reason why magnetic tape (including VHS & Beta) should be stored in a "played" position is that the tape will be evenly and tightly wound.

Tapes stored in a "rewound" position are more prone to damage due to uneven tension as a lot of air is introduced into the tape pack.

In other words, be kind and don't rewind.

And someday there will be a generation who will have no idea what this is all about.

Hey kids,

Just want to put in a plug for "The Story Of Late Night" - the version you never saw.

A lot of folks complained earlier and elsewhere on the net about CNN's presentation of the series - interrupted by commercial breaks that reduced program content to about 35 minutes per hour-long broadcast slot.

Luckily, CBC Gem has a more complete version of the series - adding about ten minutes more per episode, elevating the entire documentary from very good to great.

In addition, the final episode has about 15 additional minutes that includes the January 6, 2021 incidents in Washington D.C. plus the impact of Covid-19 on the late night scene.

Enjoy!
