I’m a little surprised we got this given how abruptly things ended, but this is audio of the final newscasts and promos from the day CHML died, capped off by the pulling of the plug. I don’t know what happened at 10 o’clock. Was it technical problems or did we throw to the news while …

Let’s Have A Quick Pickle
I’m a big fan of pickles on burgers. Relish too, for that matter. But if you substitute those two things for lettuce and tomatoes (especially tomatoes), I 100% understand where these poor folks are coming from. And before anyone asks, yes, I’m fine with ketchup. Ketchup is different than tomatoes. Ditto tomato sauce. The problem …
A Chorus Of Boos For Corus, For Killing 900 CHML
Corus has laid off tons of people across the country and axed some pretty major things lately (Entertainment Tonight Canada and Big Brother Canada, for instance), but pulling the plug on CHML was one I wasn’t expecting when it happened out of the blue two weeks ago.

Seems Like An Easy Choice
If you’ve spent your summer somehow not hearing anything about what’s going on with the election in the States, I’m sorry to have to do this to you. But at least it’s Randy Rainbow getting you caught up, so you should have as much fun as you possibly can for the next few minutes. The …
The Best News Bloopers Of July 2024
I hope they didn’t make the dry rub guy apologize. That was funny. And yes, yacht is a stupid word that I’m glad I didn’t have to deal with often back in the radio days. I could absolutely see myself being that guy, especially on a bad sleep morning.
