Julie Black

Why must we endure seemingly multiple concerts featuring Ms. Black presented by Odario Williams? Her screaming at the crowd to JOIN IN makes me tune the channel. Saturation of any artist, Canadian or otherwise is exhausting.

Long time listener to most programs.

The producers are trolling Chris Glover

A scientist and CEO talking about quantum chemistry and menstrual cycles. Chris “wow,” and “how did you feel”. They did throw him a bone by playing a song from Grease. Highly anticipating what he’ll do with Bob Rae.

Rough couple weeks without stephen Quinn or Matt Galloway

Not even my girl Amy Bell is on to cover for stephen. Mornings have lost their charm, just roughing it with ICI musique I guess

“I mean, look”

Every time a commotion host says this phrase they should be fined $50. I can’t think of any other way to eradicate it from that show.

Someone else needs to host "We Regret to Inform You". That vocal fry is off the charts.

Hell, I'll do it for free. Interesting story today about handwashing before delivering a baby, but MY GOD I wonder how many listeners just clicked it off within the first minute.

I would listen to Siri, Alexa, or 2010 text-to-speech read these stories instead of, I believe it's Terry O'Reilly's daughter?

I know, I know. Complaining here accomplishes nothing. I'll email the show directly and complain to them.

"Are you a technical person? How did you come up with the QR code idea? It seems very elaborate and interesting!"

Chris Glover, host of CBC Toronto's flagship radio show, has apparently never heard of QR codes?

It's too bad, because was an important story about human trafficking. And he ended it with breathless excitement over an irrelevant detail. Honestly, I just can't with this guy.

It's pronounced Summer-LAND not Summer-LIND

At least have enough respect for the stressed-out displaced residents to pronounce the name of their town the way they have done their entire lives.

How to get a CBC Radio FM Transmitter installed in your area?

Currently living in the Bonavista area in Newfoundland. There's now no reliable FM station on the whole peninsula since OZ-FM shut down their transmitter on 92.1 FM in the Elliston ridge area. Cell service is horrible (especially with the large influx of tourists in the summer months) so only options to listen to live content in a car now are basically VOCM on 710 AM (transmitter in Clarenville), CBC Radio on 750 AM (transmitter across the bay in Eastport) and SiriusXM if you have a subscription. SiriusXM is overall decent but still cuts out a fair bit due to geography in some areas of the peninsula. The AM radio station quality is terrible due to the nature of how bad AM sounds in general but coverage is reliable in-vehicle at least.

There appears to still be a massive CBC tower on Park Road near Port Rexton (visible from Lockston Path Provincial Park) that used to host the local analog CBC TV channels back in the day as per CBC's website. How does one go about getting CBC to install an FM repeater on this tower for CBC Radio One and/or CBC Music stations? Due to its location and height it would easily cover the whole Bonavista Peninsula with a reliable high quality FM signal so it would be a nice option for the 8,000 or so people living in the Bonavista area. I figure all other radio stations might not care to look into expanding but since CBC is taxpayer funded is it possible they may have a mandate to cover all of populated Canada at least?

"So there's a serial killer on Saint-Pierre.. helluva way to start a week"

So sick of hearing the same TV promos on CBC radio, over and over again.

Also, that's the lamest line possible. Who reacts to serial murder that way? If that's the best line they can pluck from the show, I'm glad I don't watch TV.

"We're partners - if you go down, I go down. That's the way it works. Trust me."

"I'm nothing if not <squeaky> profesh! </squeaky>"

"Why do I get the feeling we've seen this before?"

"Because..<dramatic pause> We have!" 🤣
