Living in the south eastern corner of Georgian Bay, I find Barrie's Rock 95 the go to for traffic reports. During the mid day period, the on air DJ will even give updates if there is a major delay and put callers on the air from the scene . Traffic volume in Wasaga and Collingwood has become damneer GTA like at times, prompting me to sell my house and move 4 hours further north next month. I avoid the GTA now like the black plague and only plan to come south for my daughters graduation ceremony from U of T law school next year. 

That theory seems redundant to me. Larry King, Howard Stern, Rush etc  all made their success taking calls and bantering off them. 

Speaking of TV, I watched a movie on Crave yesterday called " Plane ".  Produced and starring Gerard Butler. It was actually very well done and a good thriller . I recommend it. 

What a sad way for this woman to have to live her last years. Personally, I don't care what her ancestry is. 

Sorry to see this. I have wondered through the years where Stormin Norman ended up. Hopefully this leads to a better future for him. On a similar note, I also wish the best for Mike Stafford. 

This entire thread is shit. Lots of political forums, why don't you guys go to one. 

I still don't have the information on the 10's , just a picture someone sent in, rest is blank. I don't even bother looking at the Weather Network anymore. 

Bomanvillebob, do any of the AM stations in Halifax still exist or have they all jumped to FM ? I worked the overnight shift at CHNS in the summer into fall of 1976 while also attending the broadcasting college [ name escapes me ] that was in the basement of the Scotia Square building. I was there under a Canada Manpower/ UI program. 

CHIC's last incarnation was CKMW 790. I was the last morning man before the change to the ethnic format and it was also the end of my time as a broadcaster. The only co-workers that I am aware of still on GTA airwaves now is Maie Potts and Craig Venn [ who was a high school intern then ] . It was a great time for me, CFNY shared studio and office space with us, I was able to rub shoulders with David Marsden, Fred Patterson,  Live Earl Jive and Beverly , Jim James, Ron Bruchel , Mike Stafford and the list goes on. Gene Stevens hired me and I thank him for that oppurtunity. 

Not Corrus or Global related per say but in the same theme of brutality , there was a poster here some years back that used  an actual name that he used on air, as his moniker on the board. The surname was Marshall. He always referred to anything Bell related as Bhell. Who knew he would eventually proven to be a prophet. 

My Canada Post mail box has been full of flyers the past two days.

Mic'em -- Have you investigated your reception options around Elliot Lake, yet?
 

Gio, there is a FM outlet there, A Moose affiliate , but I'm not sure where it is broadcast from. It sounded voice tracked the day last month that we were there to see the house we are buying. I only had to go about 30km east to pick up the rock FM from Sudbury. So, once we are living there, i will just scan the dial and/or play my large collection of burned Cd's. Both my cars have Cd players. I just put  a new stereo in my old truck, no CD, but has USB, my son is making a stick for me that I will use in it. It is a fair weather ride only as you know. It was the truck that I had up there, I moved my brother to Blind River, so the radios in the Kia and Malibu may have better reception as far as receiving Sudbury radio. I also will look into playing my phone thru Bluetooth so I can receive Max FM ,but that will depend on cost. 

God bless both of you for a long and healthy remaining years of life. 

I lived in too many areas across the country to list any of the then, but now, on AM, 590, 640, 680, 740, 820 and 1010. I primarily listen to 640 as the signal is strong in the Blue Mountain region. On the FM side, 89.1, 93.1, 95.7, 97.7 [ Collingwood] , 104.1 and 105.9. I primarily listen to 89.1[ Max FM Orillia] or 95.7 [ Rock 95 Barrie]. 

The entire series was filmed in the GTA and surrounding area. One episode has scenes filmed at the gas station at Coppin's Corner, just outside of Goodwood where another  world famous made in Ontario series was filmed. No Schitt.
