Just one more sleep...

 

Hold your cards... B I N G O has been called....

not a political song, but...



 

This may be of interest to OTA viewers in the area...

On Monday April 28th, The US based comedy sub channel TBD will be rebranding as ROAR.
TBD/ROAR is currently available on WUTV / FOX 29 from Grand Island N.Y. on sun-channel 29.2

Promos announcing the name change state the the current comedy programming will continue to air.

Debate, Post Debate, yell fest what ever...  The National is not airing on CBC at its normally scheduled time.

Debate aside, is there not other Canadian and International news worthy of reportage?  

 

In case you missed it...

Here is the link to the transcript and the episode from March 28th, 2025.

Washington Week with The Atlantic is a weekly news analysis panel discussion show centred on US Washington based politics.  The program is hosted/moderated by Jeffrey Goldberg, who is also the Editor-in-chief of The Atlantic.

Goldberg is the journalist who was included on the Mike Waltz Signal group chat list which was discussing sensitive plans of a military nature. 

The program is normally pre-recorded in the Washington D.C. WETA studios on Friday afternoon. The show airs on Buffalo PBS affiliate WNED on Sundays at 12 noon.

This weeks show should be a must see event as I imagine it will be focused on the missteps and subsequent run to cover and contain the damage and fallout of this major gaffe from earlier this week.

Too bad Chris Farley is no longer with us. 

Farley appeared in the US House of Representatives as Newt Gingrich in 1995 for a scheduled sitting of the House.

Farley's impersonation was dead on hilarious!!!

How's the reception lately? I've noticed a whole lot better ground coverage near downtown.
 

Sounds great!!!  We were in Oakville on Friday evening...  came in from the west on the QEW, down to Speers and Kerr, and then to the Oakville downtown area...  back along Randall / Rebecca and onto the QEW at Third Line. 

Very clean, solid signal....

How's this broadcast doing? I'm planning a trip through the ge real area next week and will have to try and catch the signal.

I took a drive out to Oakville last Tuesday evening.  It sounded great!  I only heard three instances of signal drop or noise while on Dundas St....  at Sutton, and then Tremaine in Burlington, and finally at Dundas and Trafalgar in Oakville.  All were momentary.

I headed down Eighth Ln. and then across Upper Middle to Grand Blvd (Falgarwood), then over to Trafalgar and the QEW and finally back to Burlington along the QEW,

Very solid signal, with only the three short instances of noise or drops...  not too bad.

The playlist is varied and rich, and its great to hear music that I haven't heard in years...  And the IDs are very polished and tight....

Still think the person(s) behind "The Music Zone" have an extensive background in radio.  Or, they are a real fan of the classic CFNY "The Spirit of Radio"

I get the website alright.  It just doesn't do anything when I hit Listen Live.  Even with the drop down and I pick The Region...nothing.

i) Press "Listen Live"  on the top right area of their home page

ii) Press the PLAY button on the secondary page...  the PLAY arrow will alternate to the PAUSE symbol

Worked on Fire Fox...  and Edge...

WWHC is no longer transmitting from Olean NY.They have moved to south Buffalo.Also WWHC is approved to move to Grand Island and change to RF 17 15KW which will interfere with Global TV in Niagara Region.

Thanks for the update and correction.   I was checking on "Rabbit Ears"  and thought that it was current info.

CHCH-DT also experiences the same interference issue in the southern portion of the Niagara region on RF15 from the Low Power repeater of with the same RF assignment on the US side.   I think it is for Daystar or T Christian Ministries....

Why the FCC  would give a low power repeater "protected" status when Canada has a primary channel on the same RF assignment is beyond me...


 

Kevin Newman was a guest on TVO's "Big [If True] show Sunday evening.

The interview and discussion centred on a new social media driven project by Newman, and Wilf Dinnick. which is born out of the threat of the US led tariff war against Canada.  Newman mentions that Angus Reid Polling will also be working along side this initiative.

Newman made a call for retired and under employed / sidelined journalists to join and get involved with this project.

The individual(s) that are behind this are having fun, and they have a sense of humour...
One of the liners / IDs that played at 3:20 and 3:25 pm this afternoon was...

"I want a full spectral sweep of all incoming signals"  93.9 The Zone...  The Spirit of Radio

A nod to CFNY in its heyday....  and a bit of a poke at what they are doing....
