1.  The good news is there will be less litter in the streets (which is made of these free newspapers), and less lieberal propaganda.
2.  A lot of people were happy to see Don Cherry lose his job.

Twelve million people watched Game 2, out of a country of 327 million - that's one out of every 27. 
Is that good?

He worked for CFTR 680 as a meteorologist, and will be filling in for the departed Jennifer Stanonis at WGRZ-DT. 
I am shocked that Rogers would hire an American for the job; apparently he was doing his job while living in W.N.Y.
Mary Beth Wrobel will be returning as a temporary fill in as well.

If you're sad that Warren C_ _ _suckula is gone from Bell Radio, CKNT 960 and CFMZ 740 will have special election coverge.  It will be interesting if his wife Lisa will return to the RB round table.

Zoomer 740 CFMZ gave a way a trip to Mexico to a listener recently. 
The funny thing is, Libby has often advised her listeners not to travel to Mexico for safety reasons.
(I still like Libby though.)

 After the U.S. Vice Presidential debate between Sleepy Joe and Governor Palin, I thought there was an agreement not to air Canadian debates against U.S. debates?
The Canadian debate was poorly directed, probably by an intern.  Andy Scheer needs an energy drink.

Global and CBC/SRC carried coverage of the election announcement.  CBC had audio troubles, sometimes the English wasn't there, and when it was there they didn't lower the candidate's French level.

Mike Duffy has a gig Fridays on CKNT 960AM during the Marc Patrone show.

I think you're being too harsh on 'you know who'.

Speaking of 'you know who' he said this morning the Mueller report "proves" Donald Trump obstructed justice and Comey "cleared" Hillary.   REALLY?

I hope 'you know who' follows rule #1.

Apparently Dr. Mary's recent meltdown had affected him so much that he isn't grieving over his dad's passing, just carrying on as nothing has happened.  Ironically he mentioned his father last Friday regarding patient wait times.

While CBC Radio 1 Toronto local one o'clock news has its quota of misreporting on President Trump (while there is no mention of him on their sister station (Radio 2) newscast with the former Market Place Pee-In-The-Cup guy), CFRB promotes news stories at the beginning of their newscasts and don't air them.   Today at 09:00, Russ Courtney promoted a story about a woman playing in the NFL.  It didn't air.  https://www.breitbart.com/sports/2019/08/28/chargers-keenan-allen-says-carli-lloyd-would-get-stampeded-if-she-kicked-in-an-nfl-game/
