It's a crap shoot!

You really don't know what to expect following the decimation of the once mighty CFRB newsroom by Bell.  A different news ready almost daily with a tone that lacks authority often with mispronunciations.  Would be very surprising if air checks are still practiced.  I suspect the suits at Bell have no idea what is an air check.  As a veteran news director, it's a nightmare.

Re: It's a crap shoot!

Matt Holmes, who was doing the news on 'RB Thursday morning, is actually the weekend talk show host at Bell owned CKTB in St. Catharines. I'm guessing he's a temporary fill-in for whoever the morning news anchor is at 1010 (it seems to change every week.)

The merry-go-round of newscasters during the high profile morning show has been going on since Ashley Legassic departed in September. You might think they would have found a permanent replacement by now.
