AM730 tweaks "format"

[tuned]

Looks like the braintrust at Corus has decided to ditch the repeats of NW programming on 730. Now it's all traffic all the time. I can hardly wait for the press release.

anyone care to join me in predicting a radical format change at 730 within the next month?

tuned - Transistor Sister's version of the AM 730 memo makes much more sense than the original.

If I still had a copy of Sir Koenigsfest's memo, I'd post it.

Unfortunately it's gone.

John - I doubt there will be a radical change anytime soon. All Christmas could be an option, but they wouldn't think of doing that until after Boxing Day.

Trust me, we're not dealing with the sharpest knives in the drawer.
