Bob Bradburn fired
dog...@edmc.net
Radio Group. For the last 28 years, Bradburn was morning man at CHQT,
now known as COOL 880. Bradburn was the second disc jockey to be fired
at the station this month; Don Daniels was let go a couple of weeks
ago. Several of the station's news staff were also recently fired.
The Corus Radio Group also operates 630 CHED locally. It has been known
for some time that both CHED and CHQT have been operating significantly
in the red. CHED has managed to cut costs by carrying a number of
syndicated American talk shows.
Now of Corus would only get rid of the city's worst blowhard - Bob
Layton....

What about those 100 trolley buses, worth MILLIONS, which Edmonton
Transit allows to just sit and rust, preferring to use those stinky
diesel buses instead? Even been in one of those diesels as it barely
makes it up Bellamy Hill? I note that the trolley lines, once again, are
connected to the Southgate Transit centre. Question: Why don't we see
some trolley buses run to Southgate?

What do you think of the transit system in general these days now that
you've tried it out in the last year or two?

Layton is at least local. Maybe they could do better by not pandering to
right wing simpletons who listen to Dr Laura. There is a few radio hours
better served by playing commercials.

Wouldn't know. People across the political spectrum listen to CBC. Busy-body
simpletons listen to Dr Laura, unless you listen just to see how stupid the
average American radio listener seems to be.

I suspect to somebody who was still hung up on the notion that their god
created humans as his own exclusive chew toy, the discovery of other
sentient life would be a rude shock, somewhat like a three-year-old
experiences when Mom comes home with a new baby.

CJCA has hired John Short, who will be doing a sports open-line show
from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m., in direct competition with Bryan Hall.

Sharx needs a low-floor bus so he can get on with his walker.

Santa's Annonymous in 1955. Santa's Annonymous was started before CHED
was even on the air, by the Active 20-30 Club. There is at least one
person in this city with pre-CHED Santa's Annonymous posters in his
possession.

I also enjoy listening to Dr. Laura point out to moral illiterates how
self-serving their behavior often is. After all, NO ONE forces them to
phone her show. The fact that hundreds of stations carry her show means
that a LOT of people are listening. Too bad they sometimes try to shoot
the "messenger"..

Messenger? A self-serving right-wing born-again-Jew hypocrite? Get real
already. Just because you are a right wing knee-jerker, doesn't mean you
have to pretend to like ALL right-wing assholes.

that two and two are four or that the earth is round. We only speak of faith
