RIP Martin Streek

[GenerationW]

I never liked the morning shows, not matter who hosts them. I just want to listen to music, but they just keep talking...

These days, they all try to be like Howard Stern but like him or not, none of them are even close to Howard as a broadcaster or as a personality.

I noticed they do all try to be like Howard Stern. I've never found the morning show funny on 102 at all.

410 Sherbourne Street, site of the legendary Phoenix, is going to be redeveloped into a condo tower, which sparked some discussion around the unfortunate fate of Martin Streek, the soul of CFNY for many years. I maintain that they did him dirty and refuse to listen to that garbage corporate station, while some, seemingly lacking empathy, dismiss his sacking as "normal".
