Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the TV series Good Witch do a good deal of its outdoor filming in and around Hamilton? (Ditto The Good Witch series of TV movies.)
Correct In the town of Dundas where Hamilton collects the garbage and taxes.

Sorry Spinning Wheel ( great hit from BS&T) it is all about the 5% hit on their Canadian revenue, Just an excuse to pass on the C-11 fee to consumers never mind the bike lanes, cost of living, gas, carbon tax and everything else that is Trudeau's fault.

$147K in CCD from Cabin Radio over 7 years is $7K more than Vista. That said Cabin has been operating in the market since 2018 and no one has gone broke. RadioAaron has it right.

They should look in the mirror and listen to their own logger sometimes. Stones, glass houses that sort of thing.

Worked against, with and around Tom in Calgary. He was a rock star at CJAY, ahead of the game launching Bob Redmond's CKRY with his outlaw outlook on Country and a fine addition to a gonzo team as the sports guy at KIK. Collaborated with him at Pelmorex. One word describes Tom Tompkins - Genuine. RIP glad I knew him.

Great, now Q107 will take on Harvard's market leading Modern/Alternative Rock X92. Anyone seen the CFNY / Indie movie? Bad enough with duplication and lack of diversity on Calgary's two Country FMs.

SOWNY » Pioneering Montreal DJ Dave Boxer Is Gone » July 7, 2024 7:52 am |
Sad to hear. Wonderfully competitive Montreal AM radio in the day with Dave Boxer at CF in the evenings, Mike Stephens (much older) weekends at CJAD and the very hip George Morris (aka Buddy G) at CKGM. Gord Sinclair Jr.'s West Island-based CFOX was a real disrupter with a talented crew when it focused on Top 40. Then CHOM-FM rewrote the book.
