Good evening (GMT evening, that is!) This is probably one of the best-kept secrets in the Montreal area, but there's a station in the mediumwave band (actually...
It's great that CJRS has such huge reach. The x-band stations can be surprises. I'm not sure exactly why 1610 has such a pathetically weak signal. I'll guess...
Just need to VENT(!!), thanks. The baffling, continued existence of L&O on CJAD still has me perplexed. Many of my previous posts of dismay here about these...
Jeez Ryan, sounds as if you're pretty pissed off about this situation. Can't say I don't agree with your observations. Actually, some of the on-air "talent"...
