by 8:30 I only care about up to date traffic reports and someone entertaining to listen to

 . . . if there has been a major overnite event, regardless of what one normally listens to for entertainment, many automatically switch to NewsTalk 1010 or 680 News for the rest of the story (then back to the entertaining music station).      Disagree?

KOOL-FM 105.3 Kitchener is no more...jocks are not on air...no facebook or twitter and website features a Christmas In July poster w/ a format launch coming at noon Friday....the fiscal year is coming to an end and the changes are coming in a furious manner. 

Turns out the new morning show host is a guy without a lot of radio experience. He won one of those "be-an-announcer-for-the-summer" contests in 2014 and will soon be starting as the morning man in Kitchener, after a brief stint doing weekends in Montreal.

Weekend host leaves Virgin Radio Montreal for Kitchener

Re: the Big FM rebranding, this comes from Simcoe.com:

As Barrie’s 101.1 rebrands, radio industry feels pressure to stay relevant

I believe they're right about the local news component, but aren't most stations cutting back in that area?
