CBC AM holds and gains radio listeners

VANCOUVER - For the second straight ratings period, CBC AM leads all Vancouver radio stations in listeners, and has increased its edge over CKNW.

This is our way of saying, "Up Yours, CKNW - cut back the number of ads, ban all annoying ads, dump the right-wing cranks, stop cheer-leading the provincial Liberals and *maybe* we'll listen again."

It's good to see that 'NW's 50% fill time (advertisements, news, weather, traffic, ads, traffic, talk, ads, ad nauseum) and stable of right-wingers (Micheal Campbell, our provincial Dear Leader's freakin' brother; Charles Adler who sounds like a transplanted American, who thinks being grumpy lends credence to his views, etc again, ad nauseum) are starting to sink their ship.

It's also interesting how many posters at the link above say, "Get rid of that fucking Fred Lee!"

I could not agree more!
