CTV's Question Period was taped much later than usual on Friday as you could tell by the shadows on parliament Hill in two segments airing on SNC which were separated by segments taped earlier.  Global's Worst Block which airs at the same time locally, had the Parliament Buildings and vicinity covered with snow, indicating it was recorded Saturday.    Dave said Mary is taking 'a few weeks off' due to the illness of his father.  It's six weeks and it's because she had a meltdown.   

What we've got here is a failure to communicate

What radio programming at 10:00 a.m. Saturdays is preferable, while soaking one's feet in Epsom salts?

      CFMZ 740 only dedicated 7 minutes to R Day, shortening the Garage Guys paid program by 5 minutes   

Are you a regular listener to "Dave's Corner Garage" with Dave Redinger and Alan Gelmon, Saturdays 10 - 11:a.m.?      Silly question, isn't everyone?

Will you cheer if J.Ghomeshi shows up on the Agenda on TVO when S. Paiken is vacationing?

Eldon, I'd rather not say, but I have often read that 740 is in fact very hard to get

People who have driven around the southern shore of Lake Erie, to Cleveland's Rock and/or Roll Hall of Fame often comment that the most powerful signals there are AM 740 and 1010 CFRB

AM 740 is the competition for AM 560 CFOS and AM 800 CJBQ.     Is almost everywhere; Bridgeport being an exception

Downtown T.O. problem was due to being under CN Tower.  Office workers in the bank towers learned this when the Blue Jays went for the W. Series the first time.     AM doesn't work directly under it

Am squarely with Jody on this, and not just because we are neighbors.  Steve Paiken is an excellent interviewer.  I wouldn't miss the Agenda program even if the Leafs were in the Stanley Cup finals (so I expect to be enjoying the Agenda for a long, long time)

Remember when Satellite radio was going to be a failure?

My recollection is that a number of SOWNY posters opined that it wasn't a prudent "buy" at $62/share in February of 2000 (and not that it would be a total failure)

Might be a "buy" at today's price of $4.     Will have to ask Lou Shizas for advice on this

 - American Pie
 - Rock Around the Clock, plus two (40% of)
 - Signs (5 man elect band)
 - Diana (anka)
 - Little Darlin (diamonds)
 - American Woman (guess who)
