 And what happens to all the anchors like Dwight Drummond here? Do they lose their positions or sink into the background? A very strange decision and, while I'm no admirer of the CBC, this is one case where they may really be needed on a market-by-market basis. And this is how they choose to serve their viewers? 

The local anchor here in Calgary, Andrew Brown, tweeted today that he's being reassigned to working this weekend. I suspect others will get shuffled around too, as well as  to radio and digital.

Australia's own Hunters & Collectors - "Everthing's On Fire."



 

Irrelevant racist jerk dead. Film at 11.

Shades of the price tags at Winners, or something like that. The price that nobody really pays, but maybe somebody will be fooled when they "only" pay S120/month instead.

 

Sue Ann Levy will also have to find a different place to spread her prejudiced bullshit, also, per her on the Twitter.

The Gordon Pinsentesque voice at the end of the New York Fries ad that says:

"I think she stole my wallet."


Gold, baby.

That's rich.

Rogers gutted the multilingual news programming that made the Omni stations different, and now cries foul when Shaw, who has likely realized these stations are nothing but Rogers units regurgitating the same spew, decided there was little point, or viewership, in carriage.

Cry me a river.

Makes me pine for the incredulous dunce who wet his pants every time Christine Magee told him about the amazing deals available at the Mix and Match sale.

Just another sexist, ageist, dumb, and played-out stereotype that someone spent thousands of dollars advertising.



Honest question on my part: does this approach still work these days?

Could someone explain to me why so many car ads for Cadillacs, Volvos, and other higher-end vehicles seem to follow a structure something like this?

A younger woman reads the ad in a tone that attempts to sound sophisticated and seductive. It seems to crop up a lot.   Sometimes it works, and sounds coherent, and sometimes the reader fails miserably and it sounds, to put it nicely, laughable. I mention here specifically the Cadillac ad where the woman fails to properly enunciate the phrase "except compromise" to the point where upon a casual listen or two it sounds like "accept compromise" - particularly on an inferior AM signal.

I'm not blaming whoever read that, but whoever produced it instead.  Like everything in radio, advertising production seems in a perpetual race to the bottom.

Much ado about nothing.

He'll be fine. The man is paid to have opinions and say stuff that stirs the soup. Dig deep enough and I'm sure you'll find stuff that would even piss off fans of his beloved (and who can blame him) Saskatchewan Roughriders.

I'm disappointed that he's leaving Toronto, but happy to see another dumb kid from the prairies move up in the world.

The buffoons in management that got the most trusted name in Canadian broadcast news, now apparently shilling for CFRB, to utter the freaking ridiculous phrase "An I Heart Radio Station", or said broadcaster for actually succumbing to such stupidity?

If I was Lloyd Robertson I'd have been telling someone to go piss up a rope. Just saying.

When did Nish move frequencies, Saul?

Given the apparent climate within the industry, I'm only surprised this management technique isn't utilized more more often.
