Re: Iconic CBC Sportscaster Bob Cole Dies at 90

Bob was probably the best Canadian hockey announcer outside of Foster Hewitt. I always loved him and his energy and love of Hockey. Doc's a great guy who knows so much about the game and I really liked him for the drama he could build for a big game, but some of his calls could be a little on the lo...

Re: Tom Skilling retiring

Tom's probably one of my favorite meteorologists ever. I used to watch him when WGN was a superstation and he always had a great style and just great at his job. He's been making a few appearances since he retired. Seems like he's very much enjoying retirement.

Re: Lyn and Marco

Cliff is still better in my opinion, and I feel Cumulus made a bad move. Nothing personal against Marco though.

Re: Timm on WRQN

I haven't heard Timm in months on WRQN, but he still does commercials for businesses around town. It'a shame if he's no longer part of WRQN, as he's one of the best personalities in the market.

Damn - your memory is good!

Indeed, I used to mock that on-air proclamation for its absurdity.
What was absurd about the "workforce" tag? It seems like in an industrial setting, rock music is fairly popular with the workers.

Tesla vehicles also longer have Disney+ for entertainment due to Elon's bad relationship with them dropping their ads on Twitter.

Re: Ken Calvert, R.I.P

What a shame. Ken was a legend here, in both radio and with the Pistons. He touched so many lives over his career too. So unfortunate this happened just before Christmas, and ten years to the day of his retirement from CSX. R.I.P. Ken. You will be missed.

The both of you will be telling the same, tired jokes in here in 2060. Then it’s a stalemate because we know you’ll be writing him in forever. You'll be voting for Dementia Joe and Matt will be voting for somebody who has literally zero percent chance of winning. So I'm not sure either of you have ...

Re: Ratings Day in Toledo

I'm not sure if WIOT still plays "Renegade" or any other Styx Songs. They do play "In the Air Tonight" and "Money for Nothing" though.

Re: WOMC's Jim "JJ" Johnson Announces Retirement

When will the engineers and IT gurus at Audacy get off their butts and fix the skipping / popping issue with the music? KJKK in Dallas has (or had) exactly the same issue, per a post on Radio-Discussions. I'm now thinking it is an automation system or software issue as opposed to an STL issue. I've...

It was 2013-14. They were playing "Royals" by Lorde literally like three times an hour along with shit like Gotye, Hozier, Passion Pit and Gnarls Barkley. And it didn't really stop until one of the mercy killings when 1470 was shut down and the terrible syndicated talk shows moved to 100.7 a couple...
