I was surprised to hear the return of newscasts to Sauga 960 this month. When the station first signed on, they did community and local news at the top of every hour during the heart of the broadcast day. Then, without any explanation, they disappeared for months

For the past two weeks, there's been a top of the hour cast at 10 AM (and perhaps other times, I rarely listen.) What's strange (and with this station, you knew there had to be something) is that there's a music bed that runs throughout the entire thing for reasons I can't quite fathom. 

Anyway, considering the promise of performance the owner made while going for the licence, I'm surprised they were allowed to get away with not broadcasting any news at all for so long.
