Whenever I move to a new city, or even stay in one for an extended period, I like to listen to the local talk radio stations to get a feel for what makes the place tick.
In Montreal, the english talk station to listen to is CJAD 800 on the AM band. It has a marvellous selection of personalities:
- Andrew "Mr. Nice Guy" Carter in the early morning. Why this fellow hasn't run for politics is beyond me!
- Gruff but hilarious Tommy Schnurmacher from 9 to noon. Somebody can't stand him but his politics & mine are pretty similar so I enjoy his rants with great delight!
- Husband & wife team, Kevin Holden & Trudie Mason, in the early afternoon. From all accounts they're a happily married couple but the "debates" they get in with each other sometimes are real "doozies"!
- Affable Ric Peterson on the drive-home show.
- Eramelinda Boquer & Al Gravelle in the 8 - 10pm slot. These two are perhaps my all time favourites because they don't ever hesitate to speak what's on their mind and each have a terrific sense of humour!
- Peter Anthony Holder ends the day between 11pm - 2am. His show is the most varied of all, entertaining the night owls of Montreal with a potpourri of varied entertainment.
