PS:  The station is hiring Jr. Swing announcer and News Person now.  Hit the link, fire off  an email... eat lots of Moxies in Grand Prairie.

Is he with the Truhn stick or the other one?  I wonder if they'll also share the same parking lot as XX and Sun(uh...Rock).

Oh, and GrandE Prairie btw.  Don't forget the 'e'.  They're all sensitive about that up north.

Best of luck with your new station, Dave!

Keep us posted on its progress.

Wow Dave...at the CRTC hearing you said you were heading back with Rogers to GP..guess you didn't need the free phone.  Best of Luck with Bear Creek.

"Check it out!  this is the front door, where everyday at 12:30pm I'll stumble in after a 3 gin martini lunch, to rock the "Prairie" from 3pm to 6pm!"

On the stations myspace he says the above. I trust you don't need a buzz to go on air do you?

RM - One more please.

FREE-FM 104.7 is now on air.  Anyone with a link to a website.  What's does the line up look/sound like?

Several Free FM 's in the USA.

Gord Gauvin IS the General Manager/Sales Manager @ CFRI.

Wasn't him who applied for the indie rock station for GP?  sniff sniff...Very early agreement?

He applied for a classic rock, alternative rock and new rock.

TRANSCRIPT OF PROCEEDINGS

Rumour has it that Crash and Mars from Halifax will be the new morning team in GP at the Truhn station

Why would a morning team transfer from a large city like Halifax to a small remote city like GP?

Are you telling me Vista is actually going to pay a decent wage, and give the opportunity to work with the Mann clan?

uh, wrong station.  Vista is FreeFM.  If true, that rumour would have those two going to the Truhn/Sawchuk stick (name still to be revealed).

As to why?  Money yes.  It's a booming town.  They were unceremoniously sacked out in Halifax weren't they?  Employment is always a good motivator.  Who knows?  They'll be two of MANY in N. Alberta from the East Coast, with more sure to make the trip at some point.

The question of course is what format these stations will all launch at.  SUN snagged rock shortly after the decisions were announced.  Can "The Kid" switch gears and program a Top40/CHR/HotAC?  Or will the Truhn crew stick to their guns and fire up a rocker to go head-to-head?
