CFAX will air play-by-play of all Western Conference final NHL games.

Ian Jessop said on-air today that he had two complaints against him to broadcast standards last year.

Any idea what these complaints were related to?

Tonight's news-reader was having a tough time.

 

At 10pm, he called Cedar Hill X Rd. "Cedar Hill ex Road"

At 11pm, he went with "Cedar Cross Road"

Does the CFAX online player cause problems for anyone else here?  It's constantly dropping off, buffering, etc...

^Ditch that 28.8k modem and upgrade to the 56k.

Maybe I need more megabits to go with my kilobits

 

No worries, I just listen to CKNW instead.  That one works fine

Noory and his crew pulled a fast one on Art Bell recently and the show fired John B Wells, their most listened to host (triple what Noory attracts) because he raised issues that made people "uncomfortable." Lame.

Coast to Coast has eroded into a mainstream scary monster and alien abduction show and has lost a great deal of credibility over the last year (not that it hadn't when Art Bell left, so you can imagine how badly its image has been tarnished since late 2013).

 

Art is back!

 

Online though, not CFAX...  http://artbell.com/a...s-new-show-faq/

Corus is cancelling the Home Discovery Show, that was on CFAX Saturday mornings.  After next week it'll just be online.  It always seemed they took quite a few calls from Victoria, I think it was pretty popular here.   I kind of thought asking two guys stuff was less useful than doing research on products, techniques and solutions online.

Corus is a mess plain and simple; I had a nice dinner one night in YVR last year with an old CKNW media-radio colleague of my dad's who related horror stories of how just far morale at 'NW has fallen at the Black Tower, industry-speak for the Corus-NW building in d/t Vancouver. He like many many others in the past few years became an involuntary NW "alumnus" one Black Friday earlier in 2014 when several staff both on air and off were escorted out of the building with no inkling of what was coming. The industry is cutthroat and it was quite sad to hear how pancaked out that station has become and how far its fallen under Corus' watch. Sad.

They recently axed the programming director at CKNW too.  I wonder why.... 

 

There seems to have been a big talent loss recently from there.  The evening newsreaders are generally not very good (ok, they're terrible) and the overall quality of content has thinned right out.

A man in his early 20's was found on the corner of Douglas and Pandora late last night suffering from multiple stab wounds.

 

Police and emergency crews responded to the victim at 11:30 and he was immediately taken to hospital.

 

No weapons were found at the scene but a large area in front of City Centre was taped off for the investigation.

 

Investigators have no suspects in custody but believe the victim does know his attacker.

 

The man is believed to have non-life threatening injuries.

Todays poll.... 

 

http://www.cfax1070.com/

Gross 39% right now...

[sebberry]

Yes just dropped to 28%

[VicHockeyFan]

35 now!

[lanforod]

I think you mean 22

[Bingo]

The question is quite odd because if one was unfaithful while in a romantic relationship wouldn't the relationship no longer be romantic?

[VicHockeyFan]

26!
