Here's a Toronto Mike exclusive for ya. One of my radio friends just told me the morning guys at 92.5 JackFM have been let go. I checked around and nobody else has this massive news bomb. Ben and Kerry are best known for those ads with the two grown
AM 640 is making some changes. Their Leafs Lunch show did well, so they're throwing The Bill Watters Show with Jeff Marek in the afternoon slot to try and steal some of Bob McCown's Prime Time Sports audience from the Fan 590. I'm bummed about this move. I don't listen
Hamilton's CHCH television, now known as simply CH, will soon be rebranded E!. I'll always be grateful to CHCH for bringing us The Hilarious House of Frightenstein. Rebranding today's CH as E! is a kin to putting lipstick on a pig. It's a pig that airs Mad TV, but a
