Yes NB is gullible and if they vote to how they direct our thinking that is pathetic.
Notice the Oil Ormulsion Fiasco is down palyed as something in the past. It is not in the past because it cost us Billions and still after that mess the Coleson Cove plant still had to spend money that now is not warranted but charged to taxpayers again.
Please cover ups happen everyday under Premier Lord's governing. Still trying to buy votes. So many issues have been there over the eight years and nothing was done for the poor, car insurance rate, heating and gas prices (what is going on now is not a fix just a bandaid during an election year)class sizes, seniors issues, and so much more. I have to get to work and pay more taxes and he said we can all afford to pay more. He doesnot have the wages most of us have. We still are waiting for the miniumn wage to increase especially when corporation are making over two hundred percent increases and a few pennies is not what I'm talking about it is dollars and five bucks more is not that much when take home is not much after all the taxes the government gives us in our province. Glad I don't have to wait for justice; I happen to make a good wage but can't get a full time job because the government contorls these jobs. Working eight year and only part time, so many of us exist. Where will we be when we retire; looking for food stamps that won't exist and pensions we won't have.
Time we tell the politicians that they can get some money but not automatic a pensions after a few years in. Disgraceful. We have freedom but who is paying the price.
SAINT JOHN - Rock radio station C98 has been replaced by Classic Rock 98.9 FM.
The station began playing strictly classic rock last week.
The new station, 98.9 BIG JOHN FM, along with K-100 and CFBC, are owned and operated by Maritime Broadcasting System Ltd.
"In the past, there had been new music mixed in with old music," says operations manager Rob Alexander.
"We're focusing on the classic core artists, the Pink Floyd, Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin and artists like that," he said.
The new station's target audience is 35- to 49-year-old men.
"Because of all the competition both from satellite radio and the Internet, you really have to focus on a specific segment and try to own it," said Alexander.
Six months ago, a new radio station The Pirate, 103.5, was born. It offers new rock.
The old C98 was fourth in the ratings of the seven stations that subscribe to BBM Canada, but Alexander says past market shares don't concern him and the change wasn't made to try and beef them up.
"We just felt that it was time for a change. Things had gotten a little stale, I think," he said.
"The ones coming up will be of far more interest to me than the ones that have gone past."
Old ratings do matter to CBC, however. The public broadcaster is enjoying a resurgence in its market share, which fell by about five points in the morning during last summer's lockout, says CBC's Susan Mitton of Halifax.
Based on BBM statistics from April, CBC in Saint John is back to its historic average, which sees 17 per cent of the total radio-listening audience tuning into the weekday morning show. During the CBC's lockout of its unionized workers, that percentage dropped to 11. Normally, CBC's morning show places a strong second in the marketplace, Mitton said.
"We're back to historic shares again. We've recovered fully," she said. "That's true right across the country."
On an overall basis, from 5 a.m. to 1 a.m., CHSJ is first in the market share with 24, CHWV is next with 21, CBC with 14, CJYC with 12, CIOK, 10, CFBC, 10, Rogers 2 and CBC FM, 2, said Mitton.
The French radio station, CHQC 105.7 and the UNBSJ radio station do not subscribe to BBM Canada and so are not included in the statistics.
