Great news. I really enjoy listening to Arlene. I hated the Watters show, glad it's gone.

OMG i love the channel but always changed when she came on. I must be in the minority. Can it be any less compelling? I always found that mid day time soooo boring. always switched to 1010 or 590. Oh well.

I've enjoyed Bynon's show since she started at 640Toronto. She and Mike Stafford are the stations best on-air folks. Couldn't care less about Watters.

Oakley, Stafford and Bynon are the 3 shows i listen too.

I'm not surprised the Bill Watters show is gone. There's only so much room for Leafs talk or for that matter sports talk in general at the 4pm time slot especially with McCown getting such good ratings and now TSN putting its weight behind their own station.
