Radio Listening

Radio Listening

I listened to the radio from 06:20 EST to 08:00 EST this morning.  I'm about to switch to MP3s (Pearl Jam's Merkinball, No Code and Live on Two Legs respectively), but before I do so I thought I'd share the details of what radio I actually listened to.

  • CFNY Edge 102 - I heard some Audioslave, White Stripes, Nickelback and the 6:30 news, sports, traffic and weather package.  Blundell started yakking and I turned off the radio for a short while to do other more important stuff.
  • CBC Radio One - I caught the last third of the 7:00 news update.
  • Fan590 - I caught the 7:20 sports update and listened to Glenn Healy discuss our streaking Leafs until 7:40.
  • Mojo Radio - In the mood for more Leaf talk, I skipped over to 640 on the AM dial for some of the Leafs Breakfast with Michael Landsberg.  Landsberg weaved a nonsensical tale about Quinn's coaching methods and why he deserves zero praise for the Leafs winning streak.
  • WBUF - Howard Stern was discussing Paris Hilton and he played a clip from a bit Hilton did with Jimmy Fallon on Saturday Night Live this weekend.  It was pretty damn funny.
  • Y108 - Hamilton's Best Rock was playing Rush, and I had to stop for a listen.  It was New World Man.
  • CFNY Edge 102 - Back to my favourite station for a final tune or two.  Unfortunately, I got advertisements.
  • Fan590 - Don Cherry's Grapeline with Brian Williams.  He was going off on Sydney Crosby again for this lacrosse style goal the other day.  He's got the message, lets move on.  Sometimes 16 year olds forget they aren't allowed to score an extremely creative goal when their team has a sizable lead.

That was pretty much it.  It's all about timing.  Sometimes I spend more time with music and other times I spend more time with Howard Stern, depending on his topic of the moment.  With the Leafs winning eight in a row, it seems I spent more time with sports radio this morning.  And that's my answer to the question nobody asked.
