MEDIA-RELATED STUFF: BROADCAST DIALOGUE SEPTEMBER 1

Julie Adam has left Rogers. I'll always remember her for switching Kiss 92 Toronto to Jack FM and moving Mad Dog and Billie over to CHFI. Then a few years later, she fired Jack's entire on-air staff. She continued the Jack format for years before finally returning the station to Kiss 92.     


Corus is launching streaming service TELETOON+. I don't know that anyone watches TELETOON on TV; why would they want to pay a monthly subscription for it?


HGTV Canada is turning 25 years old, which must mean a whole bunch of those other sixteen channels added to Canadian cable systems in the fall of 1997 are turning 25 years old as well.


Jeremy Fisher, the indie rock musician who had a song called "Lemon Meringue Pie" which wasn't about dessert, is launching a children's show on CBC Gem.        


Sure, let's hold National Cinema Day on the Saturday of Labour Day weekend when most Canadians will be at their cottages.


"This Hour Has 22 Minutes" is broadcasting a thirtieth anniversary show October 11, but without Cathy Jones or Greg Thomey, their two most talented early cast members.


Tried to catch that new Filipino program on CJMB Montreal but it was being blown away by a Spanish station.
