Those who danced were thought to be quite insane by those who couldn't hear the music.

Top of the Hour (ToH) ID at CKRA-FM (Capital-FM) Edmonton this morning was already "A Stingray Radio Station".
Hadn't listened lately so not sure how new this is, but it wasn't Charlie Van Dyke.

Stingray took over this morning Jon. I'm sure the fact that Newcap CEO John Steele also having a stake in Stingray led to this unbelievably smooth and fast transition.

The VOCM press release said 9:00 AM was the official switch in ownership.
That is 5:30 AM Edmonton time. The ID I heard was at 7:00 AM.

I was wondering how quickly CKSA/CITL in Lloydminster would rebrand their “NewCap News” program, but it looks like it was already rebranded in anticipation of approval. It’s been “Primetime Local News” since the start of September.
