The Southern Ontario/WNY Radio-TV Forum / Mike Stafford Update

**Posted by torontomike** February 22, 2025 10:34 pm

Mike Stafford dropped by this afternoon to update us on his life. If you're a Stafford fan, or simply curious about how things are going with his suit against Corus, his health, and his marriage, you can hear our chat here.

I appreciate the shout-out to the SOWNY Board (around the 59 minute mark), even if it wasn't all complimentary. I still miss Stafford on air and hope somehow he finds a way to improve his lot in life. I found him very entertaining and feel bad about what's happened to him.

Hope he eventually finds a happy life after 640. Although the length of his lawsuit vs. Corus is completely insane. (He says it may not be resolved until 2028!)

(Thanks for sharing the link to the podcast Toronto Mike.)

At the start of the episode Mike Stafford made a quip about a moment he'd experienced that day that had felt like something from an Alfred Hitchcock film and it was like he'd just taken a break from the mic and was back ...the rest of his visit with Toronto Mike continued with the same energy.

The update on Staff's personal and professional life covered a lot of ground and then Toronto Mike got his views on a wide range of subjects. Staff was entertaining, informed and that section of the episode could probably work as a demo reel of what an official Mike Stafford podcast might sound like.

I have every confidence that Stafford will make his way and find or put together the sort of on-air/podcast gig that works best for him. He's got a built-in audience waiting and the strong support of good people who believe in his talent including Toronto Mike.

🤞🎧🎙️

Always enjoyed Stafford, all the way back to 1010 days. A shame what happened to him, although in the cancel culture era, it was largely his mistake to put himself in that untenable position. I would welcome him back on air any time, and I would listen. Is there a host currently working in talk radio that he couldn't replace and improve the show? I can't think of one.
