the problem is that there's a credibility issue. mitch melnick is really the only true sports radio personality and he's on vacation half the time. do you really care about shaun starr's opinion? ted bird rehashing his "bird droppings?" tony jabroni and his pretentious "i'm an insider" b.s.? randy t and his guests ranging from local golf course groomers to fishing experts? and how much can one possibly listen to ufc blah,blah, blah or live remotes from playground poker in beautiful downtown kahnawake?


the truth is that it is the montreal canadiens that keeps the station relevant. out of season, there just isn't the talent to keep sports fans tuning in. years ago, there were personalities like mitch garber, gabriel morency who were edgey enough to make you want to listen. the station lost that edge and replaced them with a bunch of guys who spend as much time talking about their kids and movies as they do about sports.

it is what it is. yes, they give montreal anglos a "voice." but too few really tune in and in the end, that is why they're on the chopping block. the good will survive. melnick will find a home somewhere. most of the others will likely go by the wayside. as a human being, you don't ever want to see another lose their livelihood. so from that perspective, i wish them all good luck. but let's be real here. the content, for the most part, was just not riveting enough to shed tears over.


p.s.- is there a petition we can sign to halt this travesty?

that's pretty much it right there....

Do you really think that would work though? You would be cutting down your listening audience quite a bit I would think.I'm being serious do you think French (only) listeners would tune in when they didn't understand half of what was being said....and vice versa.

It's and interesting concept but I don't think it would work.

i don't think so. there's no unilingual competition and virtually everyone in Montreal has a working knowledge of both languages.

agree. my company is specifically trying to hire anglophones because the employees here are so anglophobic and want nothing to do with English that it's virtually closed the company off to any Canadian market outside of Quebec and Eastern Ontario.

I punched an anglo yesterday at ball hockey, had two in a headlock afterwards.

It's highly enjoyable.
