Power outage

[Spidubic]

Just finished dinner tonight when the power went out. 5:55. Assume it was everyone turning on their ac and stoves that over powered the grid. Tried listening to CD989 tonight at 7pm and 8pm but they were too busy playing music. do they not have news on the hour anymore? Guess if the end of he world happens I won't listen to them for news.

I have found the same in the winter time. They have no idea what is going on. Tillsonburg has more local news the Simcoe does. 107.3

107.3 also has music worth listening to ! Great news !

[retired2]

I think more Simcoe businesss advertise on there then on cd98

It's a 'puter at CD98.
Nobody there after hours.
Been in the back at the station a few times,very automated,Quite impressive really.
FYI Gerry is not a robot-yet.
I just remembered, back, way back when they were CFRB 1600 with a studio halfway between downtown and the fairgrounds.
During Fair week we were experiencing a rip snorter of a thunderstorm. They said during the storm-"Slight chance of showers".
So not much has changed in 40 years.

CFRB was 1010 in Toronto , "Canada's First Roger's Batteryless".

[Spidubic]

CHNR 1600

[Slowfood]

Yeah I had CFRB on my mind.
That happened back when it was CFRS.

[Spidubic]

CFRB 10190, that brings back memories. Are they still around?

[Slowfood]

I listen to CFRB almost every day.
Complete talk format. Left and right wing hosts,mostly right though.
Very Toronto centric. Mayor Ford even has a show every Sunday.

[Spidubic]

"CFRB. 10 10 on your dial." I forget the name of the guy on here when we listened to it in the car 30+ years ago.

[kishgo]

Doug Cameron?

[3rd Street Crew]

Possibly Gordon St. Clair

[Spidubic]

That name sounds familiar 3rd.

Gordon Sinclair CFRB and Front Page Challenge. Damn! Now I am dating myself.
