1646...Corus AM Montreal Ghandi

As of ten this morning AM690 and AM940 stopped programming; as of 7 tonite they will be dark.

The loop running presently on both says that because of the economy etc. they cannot make a go of it.

Oy freaking vey.

Especially 690, an amazing signal. Run brokered programming and Jesus shows 24/7 and you will make a mint.

This is insane.

This would not happen in a market of four, five million in the Lower Forty Eight; to paraphrase Lord Thomson of Fleet, radio is a license to make money.

How can you mess that up Corus?

Oy freaking vey, V.2.

This is like the local TV bullsh*t: the thesis seems to be that the way you make money is by offering less, the opposite of more, local programming and somehow that will make money and if you are really in a jam the best way to make money is to close the store.

Am I the only one that sees the folly in this?
