Love the Bombers site...great look. Clean and easy to use!

same in Calgary....they outlawed Uber...

This was originally posted just to bring attention to the fact that a legendary Bombers player had passed. Probably ready to be locked now. People can't just leave well enough alone.....

Bombers winning is the only thing in the world I want more than to see Jones flame out in Riderville and watch the carnage of Jones vs Media/"Fans".....

Former Bomber Mack Herron dies in Chicago at 67 https://t.co/LBSq2x2qyI

It's not even the team. It's just the God awful bandwagon fans. The worst thing in all of sports.

One timers are an art, Ovechkin is the only money scorer that has one. Buff has a decent one but people picked up on that, be interesting if they moved him to the slot to give him the chance...whoah whoah whoah.... Ovechkin? Mr Stamkos and the best 1T in the league says hi....

More importantly than FA, what are odds of Bilukidi and/or Mulumba coming north...

I need a source to confirm this, but I've heard rumours flying around that Edmonton is requesting permission to speak with Maas. The pieces seem to be falling into place. Been discussed ad nauseum.....he's the next head coach, when/if Jones leaves for the Dirty Regina... Not sure Maas is ready for a HC position yet, he was part of a strong RB coaching staff which can distort one person's contribution. Remains to be seen if he can handle the top job or not. Obviously agreed and pray to God it happens......

All the Golden West stations south of the City do that, too, on the FM dial, but the announcers are pretty shitty for the most part, because they just take locals and pay them minimum wage, which does not create very good radio. I listen to 107.7 country in Steinbach. Its a lot better than 104. Mornings are pretty good with Karen Black hosting and Daryl Braun doing news, weather and sports. After that it does fall off a bit but a lot less commercials than the city stations. I've heard a lot of good things about what Karen's done, both on air and as the music programmer for all of GW Country stations across Canada, but she'll be the only on air person in that building making anything above minimum wage, I'm betting. It's really a shame. Curious how much is VoiceTracked after 9am, too. Likely the Drive outta Moose Jaw or something, and possibly Middays VTed in house or via Winkler....

Golden West is strictly designed to make money....it's a sales business that plays some music to have something in between the commercials. I don't have a lot of love for their idea of "radio", but nothing but respect for their ability to make money hand over fist in the current media climate.

gary lawless ‏@garylawless 3m3 minutes ago Lot of people in @cfl wondering if @sskroughriders will make a deal with Chris Jones. One GM just texted: "it's holding everybody up."

that is an awesome piece....love it.

I want so desperately for a return of something like 630 CKRC. Something that's community based...has music, has Swap n Shop, is local to a fault.....almost a Winnipeg version of Regina's CKRM.

Completely unsurprising, but still sucks. STP was a big part of my teen years...

Pretty sure that was the story right from get-go.....

TSN had a worse drop that CJOB did. I wonder why? Their jump was temporary due to the Jets playoff run, other than that blip their share has been rising slowly and steadily. Something to keep in mind, too, is that these numbers are based on 12+, and that's a pretty all-encompassing demo. Too broad. Certain stations look for a very specific demo to target. For example, TSN is less concerned with their overall 12+ number, and more about their M18-49 number, which I suspect has them higher in the rankings. Same with the rock stations. QX is more concerned with F18+, etc etc etc.....

Kerwin Bell....Jesus Christ, wouldn't that be something.....

That is fantastic news. While I'm here, it was great to meet up with Raydawg and Mike at Spirit Of Edmonton last week. Hooked 'em up with a batch of AB/BC stuff they can't get in MB. Ray says he's a big fan of some of the new stuff...ha ha! Also of note, spent most of our downtime last week at Barley Bros, which was as great as I remembered. Great brews, solid eats, great service...love the vibe in that place!

I'd personally be surprised if 'OB hangs on to the Bombers after the current contract expires. It just makes too much sense to jump to TSN. Irving will be ready to retire (if he hasn't before that point) and it'll be a good change all around...

Wow to QX104 dropping big audience......here's hoping nobody loses any jobs, but I'll get my popcorn eating emoticon to follow all this........

Was just saying to Dave, "How much fun would it be, if all this backfired on everyone? Jones bombs in Sask (imagine Durant is perma-injured), Lapo gets hired (pleeeeease!!!) in Edm and flops, Wally in BC is a distinct possibility of flopping, and who knows if DD can handle the big headset?? Call it sour grapes if you must, but it'd do my heart good to see everyone else burning..."
