Translation: They fired the radio people and replaced them with the audio of the CP24 TV channel.

No joke. That's exactly what it is. When you try actually listening to it in your car (or on any radio where you can't see the TV channel), it's even more cheap and useless than you'd imagine.
 
That is why since last two day's on Breakfast TV i dont see my favourit pair
Dina and Frankish? where they have gone, will they be coming or they are no more is a big anxiety now to watch Breakfast TV, the new faces are not that intresting early in the morning except seeing my most favourite anchor Dina P
 
yesterday morning, setting off to work at7.30 am, i fully expected to listen to Gord James and some oldies..but Haywood is right..alot of babbling, chattering, giggling and inside jokes..it was unbearable to listen to..oh well there is always 1150 for my oldies fix...radio and its on air personalitys certainly are disposable commodities...

It's still on Citytv.
Citytv is owned by Rogers, while CP24 is now owned by CTVglobemedia.
 
Shit...when I was a teen CHUM was the "only" station...Al Boliska, Jungle Jay Nelson etc. etc.
First Sam the Record Man and now CHUM....:(

Wow. Al Boliska.
 
Keeping oldies locked into AM has always been retarded and killed appreciation of oldies music to younger generations. It's good to hear some of the restrictions on playing oldies on FM have been lifted. AM has always sucked for music period... too much static.

the same kind of thing happened in 01..changed the format to an all sports format..that failed so they went back to the oldies...maybe lightening could strike twice...we have enough all talk stations...give me music...
 
Can we get rid of the lame drivel that is the rest of CTV & Globals entertainment info programming!
 
Sorry to digress...but the loss of Sam the Record Man is a great loss.:(

You could find just about anything you wanted in any music category in
that store.

No, but wish I had! Might be worth something today. I remember them printed, cheaply, on different coloured paper every week...back in the good ol'days where you had to have a little plastic thinny to put in the 45's so you could play them on the old turntables. It was a while before I could get a turntable that had a permanent 45 centre spindle!
 
When CP24 took over they took down the searchable CHUM chart site I had bookmarked. It was really useful!
I sent them an email and nobody responded. :mad:
