"Is Cool really Boss radio?

I don't like the imaging liners they could be done differently. 20/20 news is a concept I love, your always getting the news sooner, seperates you from the other stations. They should take a page out of dark station Oldies 1150 Kelowna, the MD new his music.

Amen to that...   what's with that guy?  And why does Mgmt let him get away with all of his promotions?  I want to hear the news, not about his favorite restaurant that he has a part ownership in.  Does he think he's cute and funny?  He sounds like my crazy old uncle, and no one in my family wants to listen to him...  

I haven't heard Hall there for a while.

Drink & post interesting concept.

Sorry you don't like my comments regarding BAD ASS BOSS RADIO. Spade is a spade. I think if you look at OLDIES 1150 music selection's. One has to agree the MD had the gift of music. Put that in your period with a twist of lime.  

I've heard a few friends talk about liking the new music on COOL.  As someone who has never heard the lesser known stuff, its like new music to me!

Hearing news out of the building today that meetings have been called at corus for Friday. Set to announce the flip of CHQT. Confirm?

I know nothing... but why not some rampant speculation!

Cool moves from 880 to 92.5.

880 becomes all-news.  880edmonton.com was registered on November 6th and shows "Availablenics.com" as the Admin/Techical/Provider contact... and they are also the registrar for 630ched.com.  

Just sayin...

Or maybe they drop Cool all together and make it all news..

Bryan hall just alluded to some "changes at one of our Edmonton operations" this morning on his sports segment on Global Morning News, and that we'll hear about it "in the next few days"...

hmm...

Availablenics.com also has registered 880news.ca.  It would be nice to see them do all-news.  As I have said before, Corus has the resources with CHED to make that work and make it sound good, and doesn't have to worry about competition from Rogers -- a situation that probably didn't help CKNW/NW2.  

It would be interesting if they license the brand, the format, and the slogans from Rogers.  Probably not going to happen.

Not much in brand that they have to format... they can use the name (it's not a trademark, really...)  Ditto for the format or slogans, really.

They've got experience with the format from the 940News days in Montreal...

Yes....Bryan is encouraging Corus to "do it now, do it in cedar."

iNews 880.  Coming May 20.

Their press release states that they'll do everything you would expect in a 30 minute news wheel format; news, weather, traffic, sports, business, and 'hyper news from citizen journalists'?  That part alone will be interesting to see how that plays out.  Can anyone contribute?  What will make it to air?  Will they get paid?
