Of all the sites on the internet, this is one.
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) – …

If you aren’t the kind of person who enjoys an evening spent slowly turning a radio dial, listening through static and marveling at all of the far away stations you can pull in, chances are you’re going to want to do something else with the next 17 minutes of your life. But if you’re me, …
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 …
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 …

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 …

Does anyone else laugh a little when they’re listening to 680 or 570 News and a business report hosted by Richard Debtman comes on? Really? Money info from a guy named Debtman? I’d better pay attention! It’s a little disappointing when you Google him and find out it’s actually spelled Dettman, but he’s always going …
Question for whomever wrote those ZipRecruiter commercials on the radio: The part where you give out the special web address ZipRecruiter.com/canada and then have the voice guy spell out the word Canada, who is that for, exactly? We’re in Canada. Anyone in a position to need that address is probably going to know how to …
