There is even a category called On The Small Screen, another called Canada and US Radio and TV News.
Ink stained wretch? Oh, how original! Looking for your 5 seconds of fame for being outrageous? We have absolutely no idea what Fotheringham's opinion of radio was, but he did appear as a guest on various radio talk shows in his career.
Claiming to still care about radio does not include putting others especially a dead man down. Why not do a little research before posting?
Research what ? I'm no fan of newspapers, if you have already guessed.
Paterson: Are you the same bitter, retired "Kelowna" old man Paterson with one t; LOL a jealous, failed broadcaster (or wannabe broadcaster) who has always tried to put me down in previous posts. If so, no one has bought your bullsh*t, yet ? That's because you are a failed old geezer and broadcaster ?
Just because Fotheringham appeared on radio as a talk show host doesn't mean he actually worked in radio. I suggested that he never did work in radio, ever !
Therefore, I fail to see the relevance of feting a newspaper columnist on this radio forum.
Which is my main point. Let's keep this board about RADIO, and not about newspaper losers.
As far as "looking for my five seconds of fame," well, I have been working in the business for close to 40 years, now, (I still work in the business) and fame was never on my mind, to be honest.
Let's face it. The whole newspaper industry (as we know it) is about to go "tits up" and will hopefully jump into the grave with Fotheringham.
Since you live in Kelowna, have you ever read the local Kelowna Daily Courier and or the Kelowna Capital News, lately.
Both of them are WOEFULLY THIN, maybe 10 pages, at best, some editions ?
i once subscribed to the Kelowna Daily Courier and their Weekend edition when it was THICK. (like 50 or more pages) but now, it's embarrasingly thin.
They SUCK when it comes to local news content, as well, with a proliferation of CP wire stories (mostly produced from Toronto, of course).
Their display advertising sucks, too, in addition to being horribly overpriced and expensive and also, nobody reads their effing rags.
They don't publish press releases, when emailed to them, the editor of the Courier hides behind his voicemail, the sports department is inept and or nonexistent and the publisher is an evasive, "acting publisher".
No wonder Kelowna newspapers are going the way of the dodo bird ! LOL
Do your research, Paterson ("with one t") !
