So…uh…this seems to have come straight out of nowhere. Even by recent Bell Media standards, this is some pretty drastic cost cutting. I haven’t looked, but I can’t imagine the ratings for Canada AM of all things being so bad that they’d scrap it on performance grounds alone. It’s either a financial decision A.K.A. Bell …

Guess Who Just Added More Wrestling To Their Schedule
Man, the Fight Network has been on fire with these announcements lately. It’s so cool to have such easy access to all this different wrestling.

Yet More Pro Wrestling On The Fight Network: Welcome, Insane Championship Wrestling
I haven’t had a chance to watch any ICW, but I’ve heard good things about them especially lately, so this seems like yet another fine addition to Fight Network’s wrestling lineup. The 1 A.M. timeslot kinda sucks for an old guy like me, but I’m sure there will be replays at better times throughout the …
Celebrity Interviews Gone Wrong
While we’re on the news blooper theme, I happened to find this compilation of celebrity interview disasters. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9W5vYhUtXU There are some classics here, including that time Mike Tyson went on CP24 and let loose on Nathan Downer after he asked about his rape conviction. CP24 wound up getting a slap on the wrist from the …
April 2016 In News Bloopers
April’s best news bloopers are out. They seem to have landed not long after I put up January through March. And since I mentioned it in that post, the VC HQ renovations are done. All I have to do now is clean up the mess the workers left for us. Thanks, guys. Especially the one …
2016’s First News Bloopers
I haven’t finished all of these yet, but I might as well put them up now since there’s pretty much zero chance of me not posting them once I do. January: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_0VWDD58j8 February: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUEFQ2HMmMM March: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_IrozsK1qA We’re having some work done around VC World HQ, but the folks what are scheduling and/or doing it haven’t …
Private Memorial $5.99, Public Memorial $7.99!
I don’t remember the last time I saw a K-Tel commercial on TV, but back in the day they used to be every damn where selling every damn thing. Kitchen gadgets, compilation albums with names like Explosive Hits, Hit Machine and Goofy Greats (I think I still possess a cassette copy of that one to …

More Wrestling On Fight Network. CMLL Is Coming In May
I’m not sure what’s behind the Fight Network adding all this wrestling lately, but I certainly approve. It’ll be nice to have some AAA and CMLL available around here. It’ll hopefully make it easier to follow what’s going on in Mexico. Fight Network to Debut Weekly CMLL Wrestling Series on Cinco de Mayo Toronto – …

Screaming TV’s And Radios: It’s Not Just For Weather Alerts Anymore
Last Sunday night, we were watching TV like any other night. I should note that the weather outside was completely calm and anything but frightful. Then, all of a sudden, the sound that I thought was strictly reserved for weather events went off. Sorry I had to use a shitty Youtube video that was taken …
