For a station that has less than 1% share, this is a non-issue as very few will notice.
BTW, if I was the decision maker for the Princess Margaret Lottery charity event, I would be thinking to move it to another station.

Great suggestion, Tommy, to adjust the volume  I bet Jac did that.

"They're squandering a chance to pick up ears while CFRB fiddles with their afternoon show."  There are not many ears at 1010 these days.

Not sure Bell cares about a 1% share station!!
99% of radio listeners don't care either.

Doesn't matter which Party is in power, the CBC gets their usual bailout, annual $$$$. Therefore, they are biased. Duh!
PP will change that!!!

LB - I made 2 statements.
Your comment didn't specify which statement made you curious.
I think the pertinent question is why would you be curious at all about my comment?  
It's my opinion.
I stated it and stick by both statements

This was a fine week to listen to 1010....Tory/Jerry/Vassy. Moore's boring lead-in to the day is why 1010's share is +/-1%

It is not a case of John Moore changing his mind.  He said his plans didn't work out.  The morning man is the anchor of the station.  The guest host works around the morning host, not the other way around.  Seems odd that Newstalk 1010 management is giving preference in this to Tory rather than John Moore who has also worked at the station much longer.   

Indeed.....Johnny has delivered a 1% +/- market share for the station.....Maybe that's why Paterson

It's actually the latest example of no one paying for a print version of what they can see for free online.  Conservative talking points are really infiltrating this board this weekend.  Can you guys start a group chat with each other so the rest of us can talk about radio and TV and not conspiracy theories about cereal mascots and swimsuit models?
Stop trying to Make SOWNY Great Again.

Tommy, Tommy.....tsk, tsk.....Not an inclusive comment....
Should the NDPers start a group chat as well?????  
Didn't realize this chat was only for Liberals...

If memory serves, that's probably the closest CFRB and AM640 have ever been to each other. And that's not a good thing.

Not sure why it's not a good thing????...Are you anti AM640 or just upset that the station you listen to is in the dumpster?

Good riddance....One of the most over-the-top worst announcers I ever heard...Many times he mispronounced Canadian towns/people/streets, etc. Canada's team has never had a Canadian voice on the radio....I hope we get one!
