Mixed Message on CFRB!
I am listening to Moore in the Morning and a promo just aired for Deb Hutton’s show today. She is having someone from the Ministry of Education on at 4pm, she said, only to be tagged with a VO saying 2pm.
She might have switched shifts, but to have conflicting times in a promo is sloppy. It’s 30 seconds long so easy to check, but seems like nobody did. Having worked in promos/ marketing, this type of thing annoys me as we had three levels of approval/QC before anything went to air. Guess it doesn’t matter anymore!

Not saying this is the case, but sometimes Hutton does her own show and then subs for Jim Richards. Could that be why it says it starts at 2 but actually goes longer? The liner is obviously previously recorded so they should have one where it acknowledges the shift change, because it happens a lot on this station, with one taking on an extra two hours for the other.
(Which conveniently means Bell doesn't have to hire anyone else.)

Paterson, is the “time”ing of your post intentional? 🤣

Agreed it's sloppy. Deb said at the top of her 2 pm shift today that she's covering for a vacationing Jim Richards, so doing 4 hour shifts. They could've done a new tag in the promo saying "The Deb Hutton Show, 2-4 pm - and this week in for Jim from 4-6" but I guess nobody noticed, cared or checked. Too many people whittled away from the employee roster...

1010 is just going downhill.
Weekdays are ok, but weekends are just reruns.
And with all the gliches bell is doing, 1 of there stations or 2 plus the ctv network neads to get soled to stingray or cogeco.

Re: Mixed Message on CFRB!
What you mean all reruns of 1010 on the weekend?
Don't you sit glued to the radio for the Greg Carrasco show?
How about the three hours of mistake riddled trivia on Sunday mornings?

Thanks for exposing that.
Jayson agnew's bean on 1010 even when it was called CFRB, he should know better.
Is bell giving him the answors or did he just give up?
And rewarding people for mistakes, that's just silly.
Also, greg's show is not as interesting as what used to air, the motts, tarik fata, ted walishin if i'm spelling his name correctly, and others I cant remember now.
I just remembered, john donaby's show in the rb days.

Soon bell will be doing what loblaws/blablaws is doing now, replacing people with bots.
Stingray is the metro INC of radio.
Great corp, not greedy, and has quolity programming.
