On-air, Jim Richards publicly endorsed Giorgio Mammolitti in the last Toronto election. Let that be a barometer of his judgement.

At least he’s got a sense of humour and some personality

Plus he’s got a long long histroy with Giorgio. Those encounters have been radio gold

I’ll take No Shit for 500 Alex

Time to call up Stafford

Any good commercials

I’m down in Florida so i luckily missed all the regular CTV garbage

I would say the Amazon dog commercial was the best one

Also, if it turns out U2 is behind these UFO shoot downs they should be jailed

Coming up next we got Kim Mitchell and patio lanterns

Followed by No Sugar Tonight.

On classic rock…. Q107



Ya it’s time for a rebrand

It’s not too bad when Mark Towehy co hosts and he doesn’t let her get away with her bullshite

Makes for good radio when you have one person on one side and one on the other

When either Scott is in the chair, just seems like it’s the two of them agreeing with each other all show, so I tune out

The Rush needs a blow up and rethink. This isn’t working

If that's their bench, why isn't one of them filling in for Agar? 

Because they found a way to have both people work and not waste a vacation day

Plus it’s a nice change

Because they don't have a full staff. If Agar has to take a day off, they should have someone who can fill in. If you want to be viewed as a major station, and CFRB has always been that, then you have to be a major station. That means staff it like one.

Sounds like they found a way to keep everyone working with no day off needed for Agar

Smart on Jerry’s part

And the new host is………

Jim Richards

Back from the dead

Could it be time for the one and only Stafford to make his triumphant return to radio?

One can dream.

It will probably be some woke transitioning First Nation member though.

ah, the "woke" cliche crutch .. how many MAGA caps do you own? 
 

Just one

It’s Matt Gurney and Supriya all over again

I’m out

It's such a non event. Horse racing like boxing died in the 1970s. 

The 100,000 plus spectators today, the hundreds of race tracks around North America and the millions of viewers tend to disagree with you

I don't like reading about myself courtesy of some third party, so I'm delivering some news myself. GNR640 and I have parted company. This was a decision of management and it brings to a close almost 5 years of filling in at the station. I've enjoyed all of it and been fortunate to make many new and young friends along the way. I was "the old man of the mountains" there and it was a fit. Like many of you who comment and even more of you who read this board stealthily, I am in my seventies and have absolutely no regrets about my radio career. I first pressed "MIC ON" at a 50kW station in the sixties. I've run CJAD and CFRB and other stations and done just about everything one can in the business along the way. All of it has been a blast!

Several weeks ago, there was an incident on the air. I did not think it was minor, so I immediately informed management. Our view of it, however, differed as things moved along and we discussed it...and, in the end, it's their radio station. So, if I fill in for anyone, it won't be at 640. I have a few chapters left as I am still vital and mentally ready for more...I am not about to walk into the great beyond.

I am aware, from watching this board, that many like me on air...and some don't. That's the tightrope we walk in media. I think that radio itself is in a significant period of adjustment but I don't think that people who have opinions and want to stimulate discussion and controversy are going anywhere...they are just finding new ways to do what they do. I wish 640 good fortune...it's loaded with terrific people. 

Thanks for the countless hours over the years of great quality radio programming

As a long time fan I’ll miss it.

Best of luck Peter

Good for him.

Life is more than work.

Now they should put a guest host.

I vote Peter Sherman
