So he says according to what he posted today on Facebook;
I have accepted an offer from NEWSTALK 1010 CFRB to host a weekly show.
This offer was made many weeks ago and it came with a proviso..if you run for mayor, you're off the air.
Make no mistake ..I will get terminated.
I will get terminated for making politicians and all Torontonians uncomfortable"

He will get terminated because his past shows weren't great.
But that won't stop him from constantly referring to Omni Jewel Crafters. Only fair since I assume this is paid time. It was on Sauga 960 and he still lost the gig!
So now CFRB has Greg Carrasco on Saturday and Jack Berkovits (I'm presuming Sunday since he can't work the Sabbath unless it's pre-recorded.) What could possibly go wrong?

Hopefully he pays his bills. Sad that Newstalk 1010 has sunk this low.

About a month ago, I heard an interview with Berkovits as he was giving away free Stars of David, like a few thousand of them. It was tied to all the antisemitism present in the GTA. I thought it was an interesting idea but he did point out the stars were not gold!

Maybe Jack and Carolyn Parrish can team up for a sad, death-throes version of 'The Motts'.

I see 1010 just has an encore of "The Deb Hutton Show" (or "best bits") and a weekend "Vassy Kapelos Show" hour in that slot, so we're not losing anything terribly interesting - time fillers.
One hour might make for a leaner, fast-moving show; two hours feels indulgent. But given it's paid time, the two were obviously arranged.

Does this mean spots for Omni Jewel Crafters will soon be returning to 1010 airwaves? As I recall, Berkovits only puts ads for his business on the station that carries him.
As soon as he leaves (or is fired), the commercials go with him.

And this did not happen today. Will it happen next week? Stay tuned...
