Though I personally don't use IPTV , I do enjoy my antenna and streaming service! I totally dont get the appeal of a TSN app at j$20.00 a month l, then you think about how much other cable services can cost- sometimes even hundreds! It's easy to see why IPTV is tempting. I have friends who really want to catch up on the TV stations in their native language, and that makes perfect sense! It's all about variety and getting the best value! A few years ago, cable TV felt essential, but now it's just one of many choices we have. Radio is struggling to find its place these days, and if TV broadcasters don't step up with better packages at competitive prices, they might find themselves in a tough spot too. IPTV’s popularity is the result of greedy legal broadcasters.

As a former contributor on 1010, Robert was a board operator and more; he provided guidance, had a fantastic sense of humour, and was the king of practical on-air jokes. Great guy and well deserved. 

Great broadcaster and a great guy, smart to leave the sinking 640..

I've noted this before, and it happened again at least this morning.
Tory having to comment on things that happened when he was mayor.
Today it was all about the pandemic and Tory fumbling as he tried to comment on problems that happened on his watch while supposedly being an impartial radio host.
Meanwhile Deb Hutton, another conservative both large and small C, is trying to comment while not stepping on the former mayor's toes.
I notice he did not take any calls from listeners (because it was very likely some would call him out for his mayor misjudgments).  

When did radio hosts become impartial ?

This was an example of why it is dicey to have talk show hosts who have personal scandals.
This morning at about 9:30 John Tory dealt with the subject of people who are growing disenchanted with dating apps.
He interviewed an "expert" on the subject.
At one point he commented that he does not use dating apps, saying "I have not, nor will I ever" use one.
Right John, not when you can take your pick from your personal staff at the mayor;'s office.
Don't know about you but I think the 1010 show producers should have not scheduled the ex mayor who resigned because of adultery.to do an interview about dating apps.


Good to hear from experienced people .

John Tory openly campaigned for the mayor's chair for years on 1010, then finally ran.  Too bad he was an utter failure when he got the job.

 
to know that one would have to be a long time, regular listener .. an odd use of time listening to someone you've many times said you detest ..
 

You read my mind and said it better.

It's Monday and time to put the garbage out. It was for the best .

Mike Ben Dixen is good at the Live event kinda coverage. 640 is promoting comments for Bush and Clinton. 

What amazes me is one would think ratings would rule the indicator  if a host or show is working or not. Apparently this is not true  a show can be tanking and there is no change, ratings suck then everyone shouts "radio is dead " NO substandard radio should be killed. I run my own biz and if a team member is not performing up to spec  its goodbye . It's a simple concept.

It's the future of broadcasting, well future? Sky in UK has a lot more choices within the broadcast than Canada can dream of .   With the customizable new multiview experience in the Apple TV app on Apple TV 4K, users can see up to four games at once on the screen including Major League Soccer matches, Major League Baseball “Friday Night Baseball” games, and live studio shows “MLS 360” and “MLB Big Inning.

Nominations are now open for the 15th Annual Allan Waters RDNA Young Broadcaster of the Year Award in memory of Steve Young.

Thanks 

Pete is a rock star.
 

I put up a portable antenna in Oakville ad get all the Buffalo stations, without going to a permanent setup. The picture quality is stunning .

Let's rephrase,  Bell sells its service on Amazon Prime along with many other streaming services.

I went on Jacks show once on 640 it was a hoot, very few rules with Jack. To be fair, he did not restrict my mouth.
