End of an era

It's another dark day in Canadian media as Corus shutters Hamilton's 900 CHML.

I’m stunned by the suddenness of the decision - but not at all surprised given the generally terrible and declining state of Canadian media.

I was incredibly lucky to cross paths with some of the best in the radio business, and my heart breaks that it has ended in this brutal manner.

I'm convinced better management would have resulted in a better story, but it's becoming increasingly clear the best and the brightest aren't sitting in the corner offices anymore.

This is where media is at in 2024, and it sucks.
