Charles, you're to be commended on doing your homework and research, here's why :
Hopefully the CFBC and Moncton New Brunswick radio stations owned and operated by MBS, will mann and update the amount of New Room personel to the level Rogers 889 have, as of recent.
We all know that Rogers took a lot of local talent away from both MBS and the CHSJ Radio Operations. There are a lot of important issues affecting all New Brunswick residents, still simmering away.
Just because Saint John recently came through a bye-election, we now have a Federal Election on the Horizon.
It amazes me when we were heading into the local Bye-election in the Saint John area, how everybody and their Dog, was posting on your blog site.
It's also amazing as to Who Exactly reads this-site from checking your stats counter. I think most of your readers who were posting during the bye-election issue, should start posting again, like they were during the local campaign, to keep some of those issues Alive.
Perhaps if some of those who posted how important they thought CFBC's Talk Of The Town was during the past Bye-Electon, Who Knows, maybe they'd even have an evening talk show ?
Just because Saint John won the last election battle, by no means does it mean everything is all Hunky Dory and everything else will fall into place by itself.
So get off you Big Fat Butt's Folk's and keep posting all the time on this Blog Site. At least Charles is dedicated enough to keep it up. He's far more patient than I'd be with all you Monkeys.
It would be, Either Use It, Or Lose It : And we all now how everybody went nut's, when the former HERE Newspaper online Forum DIED !!
Who gives a darn about Saint John Radio, I just recently got a Satellite Radio Receiver down in Bangor, Maine and subscribed to the XM Satellite in the United States with the American Satellite Service.
Saint John radio sucks like a Lemon, and should be flushed down the toilet.
Maybe that's why the local stations are re-hiring again, because they know Satellite Radio is beating on their door and getting set to Crucify them.
And CFBC Sucks as well. Satellite Radio even has emergency radio tranmissions for all of north America, even Saint John, something the current Saint John Radio Stations can't even provide to their Idiot Listening Audience.
Geezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz what I idiots.
That is your opinion; not the opinion of all people. There are issues that can be brought out on CFBC and that can't be said about other stations. Keep up the good work CFBC and come on callers give it a try and inform the listeners who want to know what is happening in Saint John; can't get that in the paper or TV news.
8:22-am, I think you'rea Goof. The best radio stations here in Saint John are the Wave and Country 94 FM.
WHY ?
Because their both owned by the IRVINGS, and I bet you really listen to the Country Music instead of Canada's Fog Bound City.
CFBC, because I'm sure your the type of person eho has to be a joke 2 or 3 times before you get it.
since march 2005 cfbc's"talk of the town"has degraded itself into nothing more than an irving/mayor mcfarlane bashing show with no useable content whatsoever.it has the same callers again an again with the star caller being bruce court screaming "the sky is falling".it is with great relief that rogers 88.9 is real talk radio with real issues that affect me and the rest of atlantic canada.maybe rick mantle could usa some tips from veterans like tom young
