The TV Team Is The Radio Team For Blue Jays Broadcasts This Year…And Beyond?

I’m going to try really hard to give them the benefit of the doubt on this one because circumstances dictate that things probably have to be different, but it’s hard to see the citing of COVID protocols as much more than a convenient excuse for Rogers to phase out dedicated baseball radio broadcasts and never …

Talk Is Cheap. Dead Air Is Cheaper

This is supposed to be satire, but it’s a little too on the nose. Bell is just the worst. I’m not sure if there’s anything for which they can be criminally prosecuted for blatantly stealing all of that COVID emergency business relief money, but if there is, may it rain down upon them like vengeance …

Goodbye TSN 1150, Hello BNN Bloomberg Radio

As of Today, Bell has decided that 1150 CKOC will be going from a sports radio station they hardly did anything with and that nobody really paid attention to to a business radio station that they’ll hardly do anything with and that even fewer people will pay attention to. HAMILTON, Ont. (February 9, 2021) – …

TuneIn Might Want Some Of My Money

When last we talked about TuneIn Premium’s disappearing content, I said that when I published that post it was quite likely I was going to end my subscription. Well, I did. My final month ran out about a week ago, and yesterday I got this email from them. We really think you should give TuneIn …

I Don’t Think TuneIn Wants My Money Anymore

When they dropped audiobooks from premium a couple of years ago, I was ultimately ok with it. I wasn’t happy to see them go, but I didn’t listen to them nearly as much as I thought I might. It was nice to know they were there when I wanted them, but I mostly used the …

Steve Complains About Radio Again

A question for anyone who knows anything about or regularly listens to FM96. Short of the morning show that Corus has started syndicating to other cities so that they can get rid of even more people, does this station employ any actual, honest to god, real live human beings anymore? When I lived in the …

It Used To Take A Lot More Work To Automate A Radio Station

Radio hasn’t always been centralized and computerized to death the way it is now, but that doesn’t mean that it hasn’t been automated to some degree practically forever. That process is obviously much easier these days than it used to be, but how did they manage to pull this stuff off before everything was digital? …

SiriusXM Is Free Until May 15th If you’re Not Already Paying For It

This is a pretty cool thing that SiriusXM is doing, but I may not take advantage of it. I know if I get myself hooked on it I’m going to want to pay for it. I realize that’s kind of the point, but I ought not make myself want to spend money on more things …

Thanks To Editing, It Truly Is A Once In A Lifetime Experience

I’m glad that 570 News seems to have finally edited that commercial where the woman is plugging a trip to Spain and says “it truly is a once in a lifetime experience. I can’t wait to go back.” Yes, she really did say that and nobody caught it. How do you miss a mistake that …
