640's Tweet

Global News Radio 640 Toronto just tweeted:

"640 Toronto has retracted a tweet that was sent in error and does not reflect the views of the station."

4:52 PM - 27 Mar 2018

Anyone know what it said?

 


never worked ever, in radio

A few people were shown the door today at Corus unfortunately, perhaps one of them with password in hand?

Re: 640's Tweet

It was a strange tweet suggesting special treatment in Etobicoke north, looked more like someone was responding on their own twitter feed and posted it to the 640 one by accident.    

Accidents happen, have almost done that one myself a few times.
 


Madness takes its toll.  Please have exact change.

...

Twelve producers times a few people? Could Lou finally have time to visit all of the ribfests? Maybe Oakley could finally get his eyes fixed with the severance so he can witness the Ford Coronation? Speculation runs rampant.

Re: 640's Tweet

Well, as the Big Cheese reported in a previous thread, we know that Andrew Lawton was let go from CFPL on Tuesday. (Although he's still featured prominently on their website as of this posting.) Which is too bad. I really enjoyed it when he filled in on 640. I hope he - and the others dismissed today - find something soon. It's a tough time to be without a gig.

In the "everyone knows" list are both the PDs of Edge and Q107....to be replaced by Tammy Cole (ex CHFI) currently at Corus Winnipeg. The rest that I know are from a friend who is himself on the list, so I'm not going  to break any news there. Seems like it's pretty big.

Re: 640's Tweet

And yet 640 appears unscathed? Why isn't the PD, Sapria, Tashia, Oakley and Berkowitz fired? Seriously, why?

It appears the bloodletting stretches right across the country.
