Brock and Dalby. They are on Q92 in Sudbury and the Rogers outlet in North Bay that I know of for sure.

Interesting. I lived there for 14 years until moving to Northern Ontario in 2024. Unfortunately, I don't get Bell Fibe and probably never will.

One swing of a bat made the difference. It was exciting to the end. Hopefully the Jay's can make it that far again .

My son attended Canadore college in North Bay, enrolled in the radio course, which he completed in 2015. Part of his studies included doing time at the Rogers FM rock station there. He became and still is, friends with the fellow who at that time was the afternoon drive personality. I had the opportunity to spend an afternoon there as a guest, and clearly remember the guy telling me he was also being broadcast on the Timmins Rogers station, in fact, did live cut ins as the show progressed between the two. So, this news regarding the station in Timmins has been taking place for a decade already. At least as far as afternoon drive is concerned.

Very pleased to see a Blue Jay victory in game 4 !

That show is aired in Sudbury on Kiss 105.3 FM. They do local cut ins like Brock and Dalby do also on Q92 . I don't listen to either broadcast . I listen to Morning North on 99.9 , the CBC local affiliate.
| SOWNY » Did Anyone Else Stick Through This To The Bitter End? » October 28, 2025 6:22 am |
As I have to get up at 5.30 am for work, I went to bed at my usual weekday time of 9.30 pm, it was 2-0 LA at that point. I checked the score at 1.30 am , saw it was in the 14 th at 5-5. I figured it wouldn't end with a Jay's victory being the Dodgers had last bat home field advantage. Valiant effort on the Jay's at least.

I gave up on CTV News long ago. I watch Global, the weather includes my area of Sudbury and the entire northern side of Georgian Bay. The fact they, [ CTV ] cancelled the weekend local newscasts was the deal killer for me.

640 used to have a one hour show on Saturdays featuring a crime story related to Canada. This was a few years back now. It had a female host and was always a well done broadcast. If I recall correctly, it aired at 5 pm. I worked Saturdays and always looked forward to it as well as Roy Green at 2 pm.

This reminds me of the Arnie movie where he was a cop in the future and the bad guys used an AI video to frame him , I don't recall all of the details or the name of the flick, but it was made well over a decade ago, maybe even two . Almost premonition like in my mind. ![]()

Sportsnet displayed the current score of the Rays-Jays game in the bottom right corner of the screen on my tv during the Yankees-Orioles coverage. I watched the second episode of The Lowdown, and Peacemaker on DVR during that game and flipped to check the scores during both.

| SOWNY » Charlie Kirks death is the biggest scam in history a voice of reason » September 13, 2025 9:19 am |
I had never heard of Kirk until the news broke of his being shot. I sympathize with his family and loved ones, but he , in my humble opinion, made himself a target. My thoughts are of the young Ukrainian girl murdered on a public transit vehicle with video recording the tragic incident. That video is burning in my mind and it will be a long time for me to get past it. I hope the killer gets raped, tortured and ripped to pieces in prison. I also condemn the other passengers who did nothing to help but run away.
| SOWNY » Labour Day memories » September 1, 2025 8:37 am |
The kids in the Sudbury district school boards get an extra day of summer. School doesn't return here until Wednesday. Labour day for me during the 23 years operating a tow truck was just another work day as were all holidays. I do remember my parents having the Jerry Lewis telethon on our family tv when I was a kid, but it was always a day of dread for me meaning back to school the next morning.
| SOWNY » A Personal Message From Your Moderator » August 31, 2025 9:38 am |
As with the loss of any cherished soul in our lives, you will never get over it, but you will learn to live with it. My wife and I have not taken a new pet into our home after losing two dogs within a year of each other , the second last year which I had posted about here. On my drive into work and back each weekday , I go through the property of College Boreal in Sudbury, where the SPCA has it's shelter. I pass by the workers walking the dogs that they have in their care and it does indeed tug at my heart , but we have made the decision at this point in our lives to not have another pet. I wish you well RA and peace be upon on you quickly.

| SOWNY » CBC Radio 1's Schedule Made Easy » August 15, 2025 6:42 am |
I listen to Radio one Monday through Friday from 7am - 1 pm, with the exception of Friday when I add the extra hour to 2.00 for the comedy show. Then again from 4.30 - 5.45 pm on my drive home. Reason being, is there is really no alternative in the north where I live and work in the Sudbury region. The music stations play the same stuff ad nauseum and the Christian station does not interest me, no offense God. ![]()
