Anything with a "stay classy, Alberta" in it makes me change the channel reflexively.

Any commercial that addresses the audience as "Hey Alberta!" or "Hey Canada!" gets my goat.

Or starts with the guy introducing himself...you're not Lanny, we don't care.

[Table 5]

Or when they introduce their daughter Madison. I automatically hate anyone with that name. Up there with Jayden.

[SuperMatt18]

I have to say I haven't minded the swap of Will and Klein as much as I thought I would.

Will doesn't hurt the morning show that much because it's still being driven by Boomer and whoever the former player is. Plus Jay has decent timing to jump in when he's needed. And Will is more of the "Serious Guy" in the morning which was a bit lacking with Boomer and Klein together.

And I also find the afternoon show more enjoyable now. Steinberg, Pinder, and Will were all similar dry personalities that take themselves too seriously.

But by flipping Will for Klein it has actually added a but more levity to the afternoon show, and I feel like Pinder and Klein actually have great chemistry.

Doesn't hurt that I feel like Will has made a strong effort to not talk over Boomer/the former player as much as he was willing to talk over Pat/Pinder. So he's improving in that regard too.

They might as call it Sashanet 960, The Fan. That woman's voice is on the air more than anyone else's by far. She has that tone, like a kindergarten teacher reading a book to kids. So many, many times one of her ads comes on...I either turn it off, switch stations whatever, come back 5 minutes later and she's reading another ad. Rinse, repeat, all day long.

Please Kirsch, I get it. You need the revenue. But could you please just hire some more voices??

[Strange Brew]

A lot of sports radio has the on air talent read most of the ads. They make a little extra coin that way. I find that the worst, the same voices all the time. I feel like 960 balances that pretty well.

We must listen at different times of the day.

Maybe. But I have listened to stations that are far far worse. It’s the problem with sports talk radio in general. Not a problem I guess, just the way it is. Local advertisers, low budgets etc.

[GreenLantern2814]

CBC Radio, as content, destroys the Fan, especially on weekends.

Just now, I learned that "If you wearin' black Air Force Ones, you sayin' you got nothin' to lose. But if you wearin' white ones, nobody want their shoes stepped on, because once you get a mark on white Air Force Ones, it's like, kinda over for that shoe."

You won't hear that on the Fan.

Don't forget that horrendous burger one with the skin talking to the brain or heart or whatever. It's to the point that I mash the dashboard radio buttons until any other station comes through when they play that ad.

Yes, I can just imagine chickens growing up aspiring to die so their wings can be eaten. Hard pass Mugshots.

[Toonage]

For all the talk of Krahn sounding like John Candy, that Mugshots guy (owner I assume at the end of the ad) sounds exactly like Chris Farley

Mugshots is a hole, they serve agd, grasshopper and trad. The commercial is just another reason to never go there. So bad

Have you been since they renovated? It is a lot better than it used to be with respect to that (plus a lot more TV's is a plus). Do agree the draft beer selection sucks, but it is well worth it for the food (mainly the wings, they are amazing).

[Northendzone]

just to provide a counter-point - i find this ad so silly it is amusing.

i'd say the ad is applooooovveed

[GioforPM]

At least with the election over the phony "man/woman in the street saying how bad X party is" ads are gone.

Only to be replaced with essentially the same ad, but some woman blasting Kenny for apparently using our pension as monopoly money.

Because its true......That's my pension too and its really actually unfair how its been handled...It is my money, it is what I contribute to, and we should have a say in who manages the investments. To just unilaterally "take" it over under the guise of "we think we can manage it better" despite historical performance, and then to immediately take 1.15bil of it out to invest in a pipeline just goes to show exactly what the motivation was. Don't worry, he'll #### your CPP too when he gets the chance, then you'll realize that's your money too and maybe it will upset you a little. People really need to stop ####ting on public service

I think so because there was a ton of TV's there, so I don't know if or how they could have added more...I just wasn't impressed, crappy beer in a bar, too much light, and just no atmosphere....Just a big space with crappy tables, a glut of televisions and every single person eating wings.
