Maybe somebody in senior management can help the new staffers to say the call letters loud slow and proud. Can't help but notice how they're thrown away and slurred over... unlike the Mighty 980 of the past.
A week or two ago an evening slot was filled by veteran staffer Ian Powers ad his enounciation was like night and day.
For the record it's not that I think I could do better... Indeed I could be a presentable all-night announcer in any major market in the country for the rest of my life and that's about it. It's just a comment coming from me as a listener really.
Along the same lines, I am really irritated by the amount of stuttering from the talk show hosts. My all-time favorite talk show host Shawn Leslie started really getting into stuttering in his last few months almost in feigned sincerity. I for some time have noticed that their now former evening host had a really really bad stuttering problem. And now to boot the new CKNW at night host has an endless stream of 'ah' and 'ah,ah'. It's three or four times in a sentence for God's sake
