Rabbi angered swastikas spray-painted at Byrne Secondary
"A rabbi from Vancouver's oldest synagogue is outraged after Burnaby's Byrne Secondary was spray-painted with swastikas. The school is only two kilometres from the largest Jewish cemetery in the Lower Mainland."

The god damned school is Byrne Creek Secondary, NOT Byrne Secondary. It would be like you people dropping the 1130 from your name and just calling the station NEWS.

Hey wait a minute. We don't want to give Ski and his goon squad any ideas.

The Station (with the exception of Dettman, and Andy Walsh and a few others) sounds like a bad college station.

Gosh, I am glad I am out of the business.

In the "bad old days' - you actually had to work your way up to a major market. Now, if you will work for donut money - ''yer in.

Everything changes.

I wish 'em luck.

As Larry David's friend and manager Jeff Greene has opined in so many episodes of Curb Your Enthusiasm:
"That is just a great big ball of wrong".

I believe it's News1130 not News 1130.

I believe it's News1130 not News 1130.

What it looks like in print on the internet... all for the sake of a single space in the station logo... makes little difference to the on-air product.

It's Radio. It's what it sounds like that matters.

Funny comment considering this thread is criticizing the wording of an e-mail alert.
