Edge 102.1

Wow, over a 2 year gap between posts...

Broadcast radio has really died in the last couple of decades, it's just filled with absolute garbage at this point.

There was one station I really liked, around the late 80's; it had Top 40 pop hits, but also ran off a steady stream of harder rock, punk, grunge...does anyone know what I'm talking about? I think they had Tarzan Dan, and at night they ran interesting talk shows like Sex, Lies and Audiotape and Pillow Talk. What was the name of this station?

Kiss92 FM got it right when it launched in 1998/99, but turned to a pile crap real quick.

It was 640 AM. I don't recall what their name was at that time though.

Yeah it was AM640. I recall Pillow Talk, can't remember the host. Sex, Lies and Audiotape, that was Shelly Clink right?? No wait there was Yeah Tarzan Dan was there doing the top 7 at 7 I believe. Jesse and Gene was doing the mornings.

Prior to AM640 was 680 CFTR. That was the absolute king of the airwaves in Toronto.

Kiss92 killed themselves real quick with their "Kiss 92 plays todays great hits now give me my money!"

H&F haven't been on 640 since summer of 2003. They're now at Mix 99.9. Also 640 is no longer Mojo format talk radio for guys. 640toronto now blows especially with that douche Craig Brommel on it.

The reason I went over to Mojo was because of John Oakley, who I used to listen to regularly on CFRB. On Mojo he had free reign but he seems confined to serious radio now, its getting a little dry.

Yeah Oakley was much better back he had Cam Stewart and Jimmy Coshan on there.

Not sure about Shelly Clink, but the name sounds vaguely familiar.

Kiss92 lost way too many DJ's along the way, and kept replacing them with inferior talent. They kept cancelling shows as well, like Slim's Slow Jamz at midnight...I thought the only decent replacement they ever picked up was Sam Cook for the graveyard shift, but she eventually got fired and went to Energy 108.

Is Energy still around anymore?

The Edge morning show blows. If I could just combine the hosts of the morning show on Mix 99.9 along with most of the music played on the Edge, things would be so much better.

LOL! Humble and Fred USED to be on the Edge before they moved to Mojo, before they moved to Mix 99.9. Dean was who replaced Humble and Fred.

I think it was AM 640, what was the station name?

AM640.

Pillow Talk was hosted by some dude, who I'm not sure.

Sex Lives and Audiotape was hosted by none other than Sue Johansen.

heh, this discussion got quiet popular lately even though it's almost 3 years old.

Hehehe, that was a bit of a tongue in cheek comment on my part. Believe me, I know; I listened to H&F on CFNY well over 10 years ago when I was back in high school.

They didn't have a snappy station name? That's odd.

Those were the days, the countdowns were just riddled with hits...I feel nauseated as the flow of garbage comes down countdown shows these days.

For the record AM 640 The New Beat of Toronto is the station that a few people have been referring to... It was full of a bunch of DJ's who got canned once 680 CFTR turned to all news... Jessie and Gene were on in the morning, Tarzan Dan in the afternoon and Kenny The Hitman in the evening....


By the way, Dean Blundell is freaking awesome.

[Rosico]

holy revived thread from the dead!

[psychokandy]

Going back a few years, I really miss Humble & Fred on the Edge... Blundell is an idiot, and so is Todd. I pretty much stopped listening to the radio altogether, as I'm finding it harder to find any decent morning shows worth listening to. Hence, my search on the internet to find a decent station.

Maybe your old? Those guys are hilarious. I wish I could listen to their show every single mourning.
