Get the fuck out. Stop by Jane's Addiction.

Shit just got real.
The exact same tune they started with all those years ago. Can't ask for a better ending than that.

BFSEsq -- Same. Both stations had extremely fitting songs to end their formats, especially 89x.

WTF??? Country?!?!
Three country signals ain't enough?

Terrible choice.

Lots of crappy faux country artists, too. Horrible. Cruise by Florida Georgia Line is the first song.

"Pure Country 89."

Former CKWW PD Charlie O'Brien posted on his Facebook yesterday that Bell cleaned house at Ouellette Avenue yesterday, save for AM 800.

The music director for AM 580 was let go, the only remaining staffer for that station.

Jack, Virgin, TSN, and/or country. Spin the wheel.
580 actually had a music director?

CKWW has the Midday Cafe (still oldies). The River's Retro Lunch is gone. Talk / news as usual on CKLW. No one is playing Christmas music.

93.1, 99.5, 95.9 and now 88.7, all basically playing the same shit (95.9 at least plays some good older stuff on occasion).

Audio processing on 93.9 sounds like shit. Weak treble response.
