Easingwood announced today that he was down to 1 hour per day. 9-10am I think.
Yahooooooo! Let me know when he is down to 0 hours and I can start listening to CFAX again.

That's good news. He is always well prepared and knowledgable when he interviews somebody.

Anybody know how the talk-shows line up now that Easingwood is 9-10am only?

I was surprised to hear this morning that he has been dropped to one hour a day.

CFAX is 50 this week. And apparently, Joe Easingwood is pushing 90. This morning he had a guy from monster.ca on, and said, "wow, I love the name". Then when the guy told him they had been around since 1995, Joe said "how come we've never heard of you then?". Yikes. All last week Easingwood was asking people not to use his voicemail, because it was patchy. I'm not even sure what that means.
He has to be the most totally uninformed person ever to have his own show. The one hour he is down to now is 60 minutes too long.
He must have some sort of ironclad clause in his contract about being fired for the management to leave him on the air. Maybe they could move him to 4am or something so at least he would be an embarrassment to fewer listeners.

In April the Vancouver-based Adbusters Media Foundation won the right to sue CanWest Global and the CBC for refusing to broadcast Adbusters' anti-consumerist messages. Adbusters argued that their right to free expression was infringed by the broadcasters, who should be subject to the Charter of Rights because they use the publicly-owned airwaves. Story here.
So far, the results are 95 Yes to 38 No. To vote, click here.

Funny thing is that it was a time-sensitive program about artist Ted Harrison's book launch that had happened a week before.
In 1994 (I was around 10) I went to a Ted Harrison book thing at the library and he was showing how easy it was to draw. He drew a moose and when it was done I asked for it and he signed it for me.

As for today's news poll:
Should authorities have the power to force homeless people into shelters or jail during extreme weather?
Yes 174 53%
No 156 47%
Total: 330 100%
Hopefully those numbers turn around later today.

Huh, Remember When, an encore presentation is on right now. Maybe the new direction is to play old shows.

I would be very suprised if any sponsor agreement with CFAX did not entitle CFAX to ownership of the shows it aired. With all of the Government cutbacks it is no wonder that funding for the show was cut given that the museum was covering the costs.
My opinion is that Victoria is too small a town to start picking fights with the media.

Well I feel badly for Susan as I enjoyed her shows but sometimes you have to know when to pick your battles. The reality is that weekend shows on CFAX are paid advertisments no different than what you see on late night TV. An advertisor pays for the block and then hires a host or pays for content to fill it.

Making it unique is that she is married to the executive director of the Maritime Museum, the show's sponsor:
