As I understand it they banded together and acquired the operation themselves. And it still is running and providing employment as well as being a community treasure in the Van Isle market. I hope they will get creative and put something together. Get some unconventional financing through Van City credit union? Go Fund Me? Angel investor? The idea of a comedy station at 1040 is truly a very sick joke. Will these mass firings and change of format trigger a review of licence by the Canadian Radio and Television Commission? I would chip in whatever little i could Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silent Man Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 4 hours ago, Raspberries said: Yes, this is 100% Bell. They have spent the last month laying people off all over the country. Many who have been there for a very long time. I know several personally. And sadly, it is common practice for corporations to march people out within 30 minutes. That is down to the lawyers. If you believe Bell is somehow a saintly company who wouldn't disrespect their employees when they slash their jobs with no notice you are very much mistaken.

TheCustodian Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 (edited) I continue to feel like something wrong has happened here though cannot justify it. Why is the government bailing out Bell with pandemic monies and then I lose my favourite sports station and a bunch of people lose their jobs. This all feels ass backwards. Could they not have spared some money for our sports talk radio. Edited February 10, 2021 by TheCustodian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that Dave and Moj show at the time of Salt Lake City Olympics was extremely good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Rindiculous Posted February 10, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 10, 2021 9 hours ago, Deets said: Personally, I started listening to 650 because I couldn't stand Sekeres and Price. 1040 morning show is better though, especially after Ol Ricky D left 650. I really hope sportsnet manages to bring over Halford and Brough, then put Donnie back with Rintoul. I worry about Dhaliwal though because I don't think that seperation was very cordial. I know there was only one show I ever listened to on Vancouver radio and that is Halford and Brough with Mclutchie on the switches. That was a top quality show all just so good at their jobs. I listened to at least the first hour of their show every day. This &^@#ing sucks cause now when the Canucks suck I now have no interest in them anymore. I used to be a fan of the personalities like Botchford, Halford, and Brough, and they helped me stay interested in the Canucks through the roughest of times, but now not anymore. Western Canada already had too little media coverage as is. Guess what? Now we get more Matthew’s &^@#ing shoved down our throat. How &^@#ing bull$&!# is that? Shut the &^@# up you &^@#ing inbred bastards and give us the sports we want! 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Sharpshooter Posted February 10, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 10, 2021 (edited) It’s not even that 1040 wasn’t a great station for sports, or that some of us had it on our radio throughout the day, it’s the fact that this piece of $&!# company took our taxpayer money and then still screwed good Canadian people out of their jobs, livelihoods and their families, just to do what?, make a comedy station while paying dividends to shareholders?? So sick of this bull$&!# corporate bailouts where the littles guys always get the shaft. &^@# Bell.
