Who Owns The Title "Ask The Experts?"

I turned on AM640 on Sunday just before the Roy Green Show and was surprised to hear PD Mike Bendixen doing one of their infomercials. It's been a long time since I heard him on the air. 

What really made me take notice, though, was the extro to the show. It was called "Ask The Experts." If I'm not mistaken, isn't the same name CFRB uses for their paid commercials with Iain Grant on Sunday afternoons? Maybe because it's a paid show it doesn't mater. 

But I find it odd that both competitors have the exact same title on the exact same day peddling different services.

I've always thought "Ask The Experts" to be a bit of a lame umbrella term for client-based programming. Come up with a proper show name instead, even if it's a one-off.

I do remember listening to "Ask The Experts" on 1290 CJBK back then when they had local programming.

I caught the top of Bendixen’s “Ask the Experts” as well Sunday. Speaking of who owns the title “Ask the Experts”, Liz West hosts an infomercial Saturdays on AM740 called “The Experts”, however, when it first went to air a few months ago, it was also called “Ask the Experts”, I guess 1010 contacted them!
