The rats are leaving the sinking ship!

Bill Carroll's contract with KFI lapsed a few weeks ago and now he's letting it lapse at also-ran station AM 640.

Who will replace? In typical 640 style, they have producers, the receptionist, the overnight cleaner and people lost that got off the elevator on the wrong floor fill in the past. I guess they couldn't afford him or wanted to further cement their last-place status. Traffic 640 anyone?

Re: The rats are leaving the sinking ship!

I don't think the Traffic 640 thing will work.  Oh sure, it works in Vancouver.  And, people in Toronto imagine that "if it works there, surely it would work for us because we're the centre of the universe".  Only probably not.

AM 730 Vancouver reports on

- traffic
-weather
-bridges
-tunnels
-ferries. 
-Transit (Translink & the West Coast Express)
-border reports

Vancouver is like NYC. It's really a bunch of towns (boroughs) separated by rivers, ocean, etc, but all as one.  And their are also much greater variations in weather in the Lower Mainland. A snowstorm on the north slope, heavy rain in North Van & sunny and dry in Delta.  It's just how the city is. 

And there is the border reports, something you don't get in Toronto either.
