Best wishes to Roy Green.  His live show was a welcome oasis in the wasteland of weekend talk radio, and I will miss it.  Hopefully, a comparable program will take its place, but if Corus hasn't been promoting the hell out of ever since Roy announced his retirement, I doubt that will be the case.

Thank you Roy for all the entertainment over the years on Saturday and Sundays while I was hauling vehicles around  Ontario in a tilt 'n' load tow truck. 

This is indeed a very bittersweet day, seeing this veteran end on his own terms. 

It's hard to imagine, but Green has been in radio for an astounding 50+ years, starting at CKGM in Montreal when he was just 16 years old. Pretty amazing career and I will miss the show. I have no idea what I'll be listening to on the weekends after this Sunday. (He has pledged to continue to be an occasional guest pundit on several Corus stations during other people's shows, so I'm assuming we'll still hear him from time to time.) 

I’m sure many of us here tuned in Roy’s last shows over the weekend. When he was signing off on Sunday, I realized that I had just heard a great Canadian broadcaster hang up his headphones and It made me a bit blue to tell the truth. I would tune in at least once a weekend over the years and realized that now there isn’t really much I’m interested in during that time slot. AM640 has not updated their schedule but I suspect that there’s nothing new coming, too bad! Roy signed off with “Yes I Can”, by Styx, which I had never heard before but was a positive note to go out on. He will be missed but certainly made his mark on Canadian radio! Thank you Roy Green.
