Hi .. .there was a milkman posting months ago (Jan or Feb) saying there's a new clear sky radio station opening in Lethbridge in the Spring... IT's almost the end of April... anyone knows what's going on with that?

Yah - you didn't get the gig.

Whoohoo, THAT was one of those quick one liners that makes a guy laff out loud! Nice job!

I am a little curious as well. I worked in The Bridge for a while and like the city, except for the incessant wind. It's a GREAT market to start in.

Here's hoping Larsen runs the radio station from Lethbridge and not some far off city.  He needs to be close to the community.  Good Luck Paul ... if you're in Lethbridge!

He's definitely in Lethbridge and making progress on the launch.  Said he's been here since February.  We had coffee yesterday.  He was talking about a June launch and starting to hire a few people.

Hey 'whoohoo'... no need to be a smart ass - I was just asking what - IF ANYTHING - was happening with the station.  And just cause I asked, doesn't mean I applied... that's whats wrong with alot of people on this board, assume things without knowing the facts!
Thanks to all the others who have put some valid comments/info in... hopefully some day soon there will be decent media in Canada.... not sure how long that will take though...

I'm happy that the call letters will be the classic CJOC radio.  It's great to have those letters back here in town

I know a lot of seniors / middle aged folk who miss a lot of the "vintage" music that 1060 used to play, looks like the playlist of the Lounge will be very similar to CKMX Calgary.  I for one welcome this format in town.

Aw, muffin...

Don't worry, Onecan. I hear ya. Easy for a lot of people on this forum to be smart-asses when they can be annonymous. It's happened to me too. Unbelievable to me how imature people can be and how badly they treat other people and their questions/comments when they themselves can hide. I've been out of the business for over 10 years and I like to know what is still happening in radio and believe me, I'm not applying--just curious.

People, this is a RADIO forum. When did everyone get so uptight? If that is the way you approach your radio career, you better get out soon. You need a sense of humour, not only for on air or creative, but to put up with some of the stuff that goes on in the industry...trust me.

agreed, I thought that was a pretty funny one liner.  I am sure no personal offence was intended.

It was laugh out loud funny. If you are going to read a one-liner this one-liner season, read this one.

What are you? highschool boys? If I wanted to hear one liners, I would have put a post up asking for them. My post was in regards to information about the new station.  That's all.. just wanted info as to format, when it starts up.. who may be on it etc... Never did I say that I applied or wanted to... so the swarmy smart ass remarks are really uncalled for and unneccessary!
As for being offended -- not really... seeing what the media market in Canada is like nothing on this board shocks me.. it just amazes me that for people who are supposto be "professionals" act like highschoolers both on and off the air...

don't quit your day job.
