Interesting timing, especially considering the new additions to the Funny family from the former sports stations in Vancouver and Winnipeg, where they certainly would have been heard.

They were never my cup of tea, but I congratulate them on getting enough of an audience that they're able to do things on their own terms. (And it also means the occasional time I tune into 820, I'll find the programming I want and not them, which I always found exceedingly annoying.)

That said, given Bell's current penny pinching, does anyone think they'll hire someone to replace them with a "morning show" that might now play on several radio stations across the country? Or is it now all stand-up all the time? Given recent evidence, I'm betting Bell will be happy to just let the automation play on, without having to spend a dime on anything.

Most definitely not.

I wouldn't be surprised if H&F weren't actually paying Bell for the time, then using that reach to sell their own ads, much like how the ethnic stations work.

Humble and Fred weren't paying Bell for that slot.

We've actually been talking about firing radio for 12 months. This morning, we finally pulled the trigger.

Here's today's episode where you can hear Humble and Fred making the surprise announcement.
