No kidding.  They will have a 2-hour special coming up.  I missed the day/time.

 

Saturday 8-10 AM I think but you might want to confirm.

I've put a note in to Ryan Price, I'm sure I will hear.

[Ryan Price]

You're correct VicHockeyFan, it's Saturday Dec 31 from 8am to 10am. Our regular "A Look Back with Josh Hylden" program is expanded to 2-hours that day for Blizzard of '96 stories and listener calls. Josh will be joined by former C-FAX News Director Alan Perry for the show.

Welcome to VV, to CFAX's News Director Ryan Price!

Here's something a little strange.

An acquaintance listening to CFAX yesterday (I believe) said a host (he's unsure of who the host was) had mentioned that I had delivered a bouquet of flowers to Mayor Helps when the issue of praising the mayor was raised by a caller.

I think the host was referring to this weeks segment when we chatted about development and how Mayor Helps is definitely on-side of new development and deserves praise where praise is due, but I think the bouquet comment (meant figuratively) was taken literally by some listeners.

Haha! Oops.

[Bingo]

I think that was a nice gesture giving flowers to the Mayor.

I miss the old jingles on CFAX.

Maybe we should each/all arrange bouquet for helps?

Let me clear this up.  Adam Stirling said you had delivered a bouquet to the Mayor.  A compliment.

 

 

noun

1.

a bunch of flowers; nosegay.

2.

a compliment:

The drama critics greeted her performance with bouquets.

3.

the characteristic aroma of wines, liqueurs, etc.

Aha! Folks took it quite literally, from what I was told.

All cleared up now.

It would be a nice gesture I would put in a fiver.

I'll be on air with Adam Stirling tomorrow morning between 10AM and 11AM. We'll be chatting about a variety of civic issues and topics.

[sebberry]

There's a badly distorted message playing on CFAX online saying something about the current running program is restricted from streaming in Canada.  Tune into 1070 on the AM dial to listen.

[VicHockeyFan]

Picking up chatter that Steve Duffy is leaving CFAX.

He was on the air this morning, but word is it was his last shift at Bell Media’s C-FAX AM1070 Victoria.    Steve Duffy, whose 40-year career in Victoria radio had left him with a salary near the top of the list, has been advised his services are no longer needed.

 

[Mike K.]

Holy smokes.

 

Did HB say something, or ...?

[spanky123]

Certainly a much younger crowd at CFAX now.

[UDeMan]

_{I would think that Al Ferraby is going next.}

[sebberry]

Bell has also sacked Coleen Christie from CTV Vancouver
