This is the announcement that appears in the Twitter link I shared. I'm pretty sure that "next season" implies the upcoming 2024 season.

The game was between the A's and the Rangers, not the White Sox, but still a hilarious typo.

Radio name....real name, according to the article in the Niagara Falls Review, is Pete Dychtiar.

Wow. They can't even get their own launch right.
I'd say it's embarrassing but I'm not even sure many people besides us on this board even noticed this station was supposed to officially go on the air today.

The good news is that next Friday's Jays vs. Reds game will be the last Jays game that will air on Apple TV+ this season. The Apple TV+ schedule for September has been released and the Jays are not on it.

I saw her in her seat last night, so I guess she's okay.

Peacock has an exclusive window on Sundays, which is why the game is so early and no other MLB games are permitted to start before 1:30 PM Eastern. 12:00 PM is a decent start time...some of those Peacock games start as early as 11:30 AM.

Unfortunately there are 2 more Apple TV games to go. The schedule has August 11 and August 18 also listed only Apple TV. Even Sportsnet doesn’t have those game listed. Ugh
That is correct. The August 11 game against the Chicago Cubs and the August 18 game at Cincinnati are both Apple TV+ games as well, meaning the Jays will be on that platform three out of four weeks.
And the September schedule of Apple games has not yet been released, so for all we know they could be on there again in September.

I would assume that, during the regular season, Dan Shulman and Buck Martinez (for the majority of the time) will call the game on TV and Ben Wagner will have the radio call. But, since this is Rogers, we're talking about, nothing will surprise me.
Maybe that AI radio thing they've been testing can call baseball games too...

As recently as last week, when Mark Towhey was filling in on The Rush, he mentioned he was "filling in for Reshmi and Scott". I guess MacArthur isn't gone for good as of right now.

Noory took over Coast to Coast after Art Bell retired, not after Art Bell passed away. Bell passed away in 2018.
In fact, Art Bell continued to occasionally guest host C2C after Noory took over as the regular host, but I do believe there was some sort of fall out between them that eventually led to Art Bell disassociating himself with C2C.

Always enjoyed Tarzan Dan going back to his days in Toronto. I hope he lands on his feet quickly.
I wonder what format they're flipping to.

Heather Seaman filling in on traffic reports is the least of 1010's problems, in my opinion.
680 also has several anchors who sometimes do traffic reports too.

I seem to recall that Ben Steinfeld also had a (short?) stint at 97.3 EZ Rock sometime in the 1990s. Sad to read the news of his passing. Condolences to his family.

Frasier ran for 11 seasons but don't tell Pluto TV that...that's twice (at least) since they've launched in Canada that they've aired the first five seasons on their Frasier channel, then went back to the beginning of the show.

I guess Zoomer Radio needs to update their website. Syrett's Twitter account has a pinned tweet in which he announced he was leaving that station. His Twitter profile also only mentions the Sauga 960 show and the fact that he fills in on Coast to Coast AM on occasion.

Richard Syrett was indeed doing double duty for a while, but it appears as though the Conspiracy Show has been off the air at 740 since the end of August.

Matt Gurney, former AM640 morning co-host and later midday host on that station, was the co-host du jour of The Rush today.
For what it's worth, any substitute they have on air still says they're "in for Scott MacArthur" but that's all.
