A few stations I plan to check out reception wise. CFOS, WUFO, WECK, WJR, CKLW/CJBQ and the Weak Buffalo stations on 1120 and 1400. They seem to change call letters often so it is difficult to remember them.

I don't know where you are, but using the Grundig antenna here in London I can pull in CFOS and CKNX. I'm planning a trip up to that area some time in the next couple of weeks. I want to take it with me. We used to live up there and I could get CKWW 580 from Windsor, but there was always interference from CFOS. I believe that with the antenna I'll be able to null out CFOS and boost CKWW.
 

Soap - 1977 and on .  The cast was great, I always thought that Robert Guilhaume could steal the scenes that he was in...   His look, or a roll of his eyes or a snarky delivery of his line(s) to Chester Tate....  always hilarious!

Also the two best sequences were Richard Mulligan as Burt on the Spaceship.  And the introduction of Mary's son Bob Campbell with is ventriloquist dummy Chuck...   Bob having breakfast at the table and Chuck reading the morning newspaper!   And, Chuck the Mind reader!

1400 has been WWWS since 1993, actually. I believe that's now longer than it spent as WYSL.

And 1120 last changed calls 20 years ago, when it took the WBBF calls that used to be in Rochester.

Boardhost is a bit glitchy like that. You need to manually adjust the year for the forum to 1986.

I like 1970s/80s Britcoms like Fawlty Towers, the Fall And Rise of Reginald Perrin, Fairly Secret Army, Blackadder, Mother & Son (from Australia) - even have a soft spot for some of the crasser ones that Global used to air like Are You Being Served and On the Buses. I also liked British sketch shows - not just Monty Python but Dave Allen at Large which WUTV carried, Not the Nine O'clock News and Alexei Sayle.

I just got an email about my Sportsnet plus account.  Going up by a staggering $50 per year.

There better be both a world series and stanley cup appearance in the jays/leafs immediate future!!!

no doubt tsn plus will follow suit sometime soon.

Or you can take it to Oliver jeweler's or that South African guy... maybe Jack Berkowitz?
Pawn Stars?
They'll give you a few hundred bucks for it.

In other words, you'll be paying it off long after the marriage has ended. 

The ubiquitous Spence Diamonds spots have been on the air for months if not years now, but there's one thing about them I never did figure out - just who are they aiming their ads at? 

The latest one has the "owner" Michael telling his lackeys about what an incredible price his latest special is going for. The amount: "Less than $10,000!" So probably $9,999.99

Who, exactly, has 10 grand handy in this day and age to throw away on a piece of jewelry? I don't know of a single person trying to pay the bills who could manage it. Yet it's sloughed off like it's a real deal and we're lucky to be getting it. 

Maybe they should change the name from Spence to Expense. Too rich for my blood. And I'm betting most of everyone else's, too.
