The best commercial radio show going returns on September 8th, and it's going to be a podcast!!!

I have missed Tony Kornheiser so much. Over the past couple of years or however long it's been that he's been off now, there have been plenty of things in the news or whatever where I've literally wondered to myself, "Huh, I wonder what Mr. ( Read more... )

I think I have a lot to write about today. I dunno whether I'll actually get around to it, though.

You may recall that sometime ago, I wrote about the changes happening very soon at CBC radio. In one of those posts, I was encouraged by an anonymous commenter (come out of the woodwork - who are you?!) to fire off a letter to CBC people voicing my ( Read more... )

Sad ode to Brave New Waves, which'll disappear from the airwaves for good on March 19.

I like that Jamie O'Meara points out that the CBC didn't actually announce this change, and that they merely stated that a new show will begin to air in its place at that time. It takes a lot of nerve to not give any kind of sendoff whatsoever to a program that ( Read more... )

Man, I have all these things I want to write about all of a sudden! It's exciting - they're mostly just blog entries I would like to make, but still, they have me in a good mood.

I'll start with this.

I'm ambivalent about this, based on what I can see in this article. I'm ecstatic that Freestyle has gotten the boot, but I don't know how I feel ( Read more... )

Of course, it's summer in Australia right now - that was evident when they had to close the roofs at the Australian Open over the weekend - and so Scott Dooley, otherwise known as the best thing going on radio these days, has been taken off of his Wednesday night all-night (all-day to us) DJing duties on Triple J. Which means that the new best ( Read more... )

The NPR station that I sometimes listen to on the Web is from Chico, California. I like listening to cute, small-town newscasts, and watching them on television ( Read more... )

I'm listening to local radio for a change this morning, and I just heard an ad for a Loverboy concert coming up at a club on the West Island ( Read more... )

At work yesterday - late in the day - I discovered that my new portable Grundig radio picks up several Vermont and New York stations. I tuned in a talk station from Burlington, and recognized the voice. Took me a few minutes to figure it out, but I shortly realized I was listening to Bill O'Reilly ( Read more... )

I need more entries for which the music is Radio Netherlands, RFI and Channel Africa and stuff. Just like my entries would have been back in the summer of '00, had there been a dzuunmod LJ back then. And just like mandonna.

rottenfruit says in a hand-written letter to me that I ought to write more. I agree, in theory. However, if that's to happen, I really need more ( Read more... )

My last post was mostly coming from the part of me that hates to see sloppy/stupid journalism that I know I could do better ( Read more... )
