AM730 Abandons its search for descriptive words to explain Insane Format

(October 10, 2006 - Vancouver, Canada) AM730 Continuous All Day Traffic announced today that it has given up combing the thesaurus looking for words to bamboozle the needs of Vancouver commuters. Responding to absolutely no demand from the Lower Mainland, the unneeded traffic reports will be replaced with coverage of Royal Canadian Legion cribbage tournaments. This essential service moves to an all-day format, with continuous cribbage reports airing from 6 a.m. to 7.30 p.m. Monday through Friday, beginning Tuesday, October 10 at 6 a.m.

At first, I didn't realise Sister was parodying an actual Corus release. It's even funnier now.

Expanding all-day traffic to get better than .1? As they say in cribbage, 19.

Now I know why we will win in the end.

Thank you sis - that is the best belly laff I have had in weeks.

When you laff so much you can't see the screen.

My mother said it best: wicked!

If I were them, and this is my honest opinion, I wouldn't say another word
publicly about AM 730. No memos, no press releases, nothing. Radio and
media silence, until they have something truly positive to build on. By truly
positive, I don't mean sad attempts at spin doctoring.
Demand. :rolleyes:

In other words ... you'd either shut the mother down, or sell it.

Cribbage is too high brow for Joe Six-Pack. More likely the Corus brain trust will reformat AM-730 to an all 'Pull my Finger, Dude' station!
