Sorry to have let this board go dormant for so long.  This site got so overwhelmed with thousands of spam bot user requests that I stopped checking for new users and messages.

With a bit more than an hour to go is anybody listening to http://player.funny1410.ca?

I don't recall the last time a station voluntarily turned in their license to the CRTC.  Was it CKO?

You guys were asking for Irvine to come back a few weeks ago.

I think a lot of the time, forums readers see disagreements as a bad thing on the board.  But really, it's the sort of stuff that get conversation going.  Plus, it's only when someone challenges you, do you see what it is that you really value.  When everyone agrees all of the time, things go quiet.

 

Anybody else want to be the playground cop for this?

So here's what you allowed to be posted last week by some variant of Fausto:

"If I wanted to be a part of an incestuous group, I'd go to Kentucky."

You get bent out of shape when Hathaway posts what he did, yet you did nothing about this post.  I don't give a damn if you ban me or not after my first post--I've lurked this board for years--you're having your hand called by more than one person now.

Your whining would pair well with cheese.

You may not like strong language on your forum and that's your prerogative.

Pick another word, Hathaway. It won't dilute your point. Repeatedly dropping N-bombs isn't even cool in hip hop anymore.

First I must predicate, this is NOT me questioning the motivations of the moderator of this forum.  I believe the forum moderator set this forum up simply to allow the exchange of ideas.  /end 

Add in the word "respectful" ahead of "exchange" and Hathaway has it correct.

I've been wondering the same thing.  Does anybody care about the major morning show shakeups in the area?

Not to disrupt the thread, but shouldn't Mike's designation at the left side of his post now read "Hathaway-esque"?

The estimates of how much money Apple has in the bank is estimated to be in the tens of billions, if not hundreds of billions.  Matched only by the free publicity they got today from all media platformsd for their new watch -- free publicity they  get EVERY TIME they laucnh a new product!  I know there have been deep cuts in the media  but I'm pretty sure they still have SALES DEPARTMENTS!

Sheesh. What a bunch of lemmings.
 

Are you saying that news anchors and other air talent shouldn't be talking about the same things their audience is?

I'm curious to hear how you feel about Rogers cross promoting practically everything these days, Mike.  Is that wrong too?

You know what I meant.  Seacrest isn't a musician but his rapid growth on Top 40 radio (his show, not AT40) came about because of the same mentality from management that hires "rock stars" as hosts.  God try at a troll though. It's your industry on it's knees dude.  Your industry is a place where layoff now often means "you're done for life" even if you're a talented & seasoned broadcaster.  Maybe spend your energy fixing that. 

Easy big fella!  It was meant in jest.

CFNY FM hires "Wade" formerly of AlexisonFire as their evening announcer.  Nothing against Wade or anything but exactly why do radio stations think hiring a musician is relevant to radio?.  I just cringe when I hear stations doing this stuff whether it's Nikki Sixx, this guy, Kim Mitchell or even Ryan Seacrest.

What was Ryan Seacrest's band called again?
