As he signed off a 47-year career in radio, 29 of which were spent at CKTB, retiring morning man Tim Denis offered one final commentary. You can hear his goodbye here. 

I like both of these posters, not because of their politics, but because they often make good points about broadcasting and other things we discuss here. And they're not usually mean, insulting or degrading to others.

So like the Speaker of the House, consider this a warning before you get a time out from the House of Commons. I really appreciate your cooperation.

Turns out they're not on TV at all - at least until next week. Dan Shulman and Buck Martinez have been given the week off, and will return for the Washington Nationals road series. His son, Ben, will replace him, alongside analyst Joe Siddall.

So who's on the radio? I still haven't quite been able to catch the name of Ben's temporary replacement. Anyone know who he is and what his experience is?

I can now answer my own question. It's Eric Smith, who normally calls the Raptors games. He appears to be the new fill-in for when Ben Shulman is unavailable.

You see, that's where you're wrong again! I've never seen a single second of it!

Don't feel like I missed anything, but I'm glad for others who enjoyed it. 

Didn't miss anything?  Other than knowing politicians appearing in a scripted show is not unique to Olivia Chow.
 
When the former PM's were in Corner Gas and Harper also in Murdoch Mysteries was fairly prominent in the news.  Surprised you weren't aware. 

Sleepy Joe Biden, he is hiding in his basement as he throws the kitchen sink at Trump and still is losing ground in the polls.

Trump 2024 baby! 

Another rock pioneer has played off the stage, with the death of twang guitar star Duane Eddy. He was best known for two instrumentals - Rebel Rouser and the Theme From Peter Gunn, both from 1958. Though he was a rock original back when the music was still young, he was a modest man who knew where his legacy lay. 

"With his raucous rhythms, and backing hollers and hand claps, Eddy sold more than 100 million records worldwide, and mastered a distinctive sound based on the premise that a guitar’s bass strings sounded better on tape than the high ones.

“I had a distinctive sound that people could recognize and I stuck pretty much with that. I’m not one of the best technical players by any means; I just sell the best,” he told The Associated Press in a 1986 interview. “A lot of guys are more skillful than I am with the guitar. A lot of it is over my head. But some of it is not what I want to hear out of the guitar.”

You gotta love the fact that he turned down the chance to record some James Bond movie songs because there wasn't enough guitar music in them. 

Cancer got him at age 86.

The big question is whether it will again offer such a huge amount of money for NHL rights.

Well that would cut their revenue by about 80%

looking at their plan options, it would be nice if they had a cheap plan like all access app only but instead car only, I never used it online or the app, and i have no desire.

@RA .. the OP does this repeatedly; mocking your several requests to refrain from blatant political agitation.   Since he smugly refuses to comply, just lock (or delete) his political BS spew posts.

or better yet, treat him like his idol .. fine him $1,000 for each violation of the Gag Order .. if that doesn't do the trick, Lock Him Up : )) .. 

I second THIS emotion.

Friday numbers for hockey down south were a bit soft.  Very low for the Oilers/Kings game with 290,000 viewers to a high of 630,000 on TBS for Rangers/Capitols.  Friday evening cable numbers..

I agree politics should not be discussed here ... but I don't understand unclefester's assertion that Biden ignores the media "at every turn."
Biden delivered a poignant and funny speech at the correspondent's dinner.
He also smiled and laughed at jokes at his expense from SNL's Colin Jost.
It is a fact that Trump refused to attend the the dinner when he was pres.
