I like Maggie John for the few months AM640 gave her - she wasn't afraid to do the hard topics but also have some levity

Private TV messes up because they have cut their teams back so far, CBC knows it actually takes different people doing different roles to make things go smoothly not 3 people doing 1 job or automation that messes up

Not at all - even if you don't like him, you have to respect what he pulled off last night and no one is a bigger cheerleader for our city.  We need more people like Drake if we want Canadian content to survive and thrive

This is a really bad look - does Corus really have no producer who can book Spencer, I feel like I hear him on Kiss 92.5 all the time

that sounds like something that PD working at those station would say - there's been many times that a PD has turned around a station into a big station - take a look at 92.5 it's so much bigger now than say 2010 that's what happens when you have a creative risk taking PD like Julie Adam at the time

Not much the PDs can do. There’s a very low ceiling for what’s possible for a dead format on a dead band.

What are you talking about - he's been in TV for 20 plus years, he was the host of a primetime show with his name on it - there are only a handful of peoples in this country that can say that

Not in management, not a big name, not a marquee show, no organizational responsibilities, little tenure, only ratings were 55+.... so yes, by definition he was a junior staffer

Some journalists don't understand that their job doesn't give them carte blanche to act as they please to their employer...... having their big stars (Barton & Cochrane) do the big political interviews is a perfectly reasonable ask of cbc management. Not to mention that no junior staffer at any company could ask the company's president to justify executive bonuses, and then expect that to end well for them. He's delusional

Bingo .. way too enthralled with his self-importance .. he's not the sharpest tool in the shed.
