MEDIA-RELATED STUFF: BROADCAST DIALOGUE, OCTOBER 31

I would have referred to it as the Haloween edition but the traditional media industry is scary enough these days as it is.


I see Jack FM Calgary got the CJAQ call letters that were once held by Toronto's Kiss 92.


Forgot Kiss FM Ottawa got Toronto's former CISS letters.


CKWS-TV has hired a new videographer, one of the people they layed off back in the summer. Guess Corus realized it cut its Kingston operation way too deep.


 Speaking of which, glad Monica Lapajne has landed on her feet.


"The Town Show" podcast sounds like it would be interesting for only one episode.


Community radio stations, the last thing you want is for the government to give you money. With all these government bailouts, I sometimes facetiously wonder why we don't just let CBC take over all Canadian broadcasting.


BD, could you please put all news concerning awards in its own section. Some of us really don't care.


Those new Prime Video docuseries sound interesting, especially "Hard North."


The Canadian government shouldn't have required Google to pay out anything. Both the Online News Act and the Online Streaming Act are stupid, overreaching and counterproductive.


Also, I'm surprised Broadcast Dialogue didn't mention MTV Canada going off the air. Goodbye, channel that was really hyped up when it premiered but that nobody watched.
