1290 Radio, Part VIII

[SensibleGuy]

Anyone think 1290 shuts down/switches format for a while while this is on going? They have a lot of hours to fill and nothing to fill it with now...unless perhaps the professional face-stuffing competitions continue.

Give them a day or two to talk about sports being shut down , then shut them down. There are zero sports to talk about. No need for them.

 

[SensibleGuy]

Yeah I'm thinking by monday things are going to be different

...it'll likely be the videogame thing and that show where some former hockey player is interviewed 24/7. Ugh...

No matter what their low ratings are sure to get even lower. Perhaps Bell can use that as a excuse/reason to get rid of Toth and/or O'idiot.

Stations regularly change formats for a while like when a music station moves to an all Christmas Carroll format in Nov/Dec. 1290 should just switch over to oldies or something after Monday. The show was painful to listen to this morning, and this is after one day.

 

[JetsUK]

Shut them down???!!! And miss the valuable advice from Toth & Co. as they delve deeply down into the pandemic? Heresy!

Wouldn’t be a loss! Aside from Jets live game coverage what else does the station really offer that you can’t access better anywhere else!

 

[PaulPooley]

It’s officially off the air as of now.

 

[FFHockey]

It’s officially off the air as of now.

Really?

 

[PaulPooley]

Really?

Thought I read a tweet to that effect earlier.

 

[Jets 31]

It's still on the air , listened to Hustler yesterday say he went to his sports book to see what he could bet on and was looking at Ping-Pong . Hey Hustler you have a serious gambling problem , when you are thinking about betting on Ping-Pong you need help man .

 

[LucianoBorsato]

Sounds like they are going to be broadcasting "classic" Jets games at night to fill airtime.

 

[snowkiddin]

Sounds like they are going to be broadcasting "classic" Jets games at night to fill airtime.

2.0 Jets, I’m assuming?

2.0 Jets, I’m assuming?

Yeah from what I remember them saying it would be Jets 2.0

 

[SensibleGuy]

Just listening to the show this morning. It's reassuring that in these troubled times we can still count on Toth dishing out the dumb for us to comment on. They are riffing on orange hockey balls now...and as is always the case when things get anecdotal, Toth wants to join in and tell his own funny story. But the story is never funny, and it's almost always just a little bit off. By the end of it you're like "well, that was loosely, tangentially related to what we're talking about I guess...it wasn't funny or interesting or entertaining though. Good one Jim." Then he tells the same story a second time...just for good measure.

 

[Eyeseeing]

Why do you guys continue doing this to yourselves?​

 

[SensibleGuy]

Oh trust me, I didn't listen for very long.

However, I do appreciate the feeling of normalcy I get from just hearing those voices I've been listening to for the past decade. This is a strange time indeed...

 

[cbcwpg]

Quarantine Grocery Draft tomorrow....

 

[Neuf]

Quarantine Grocery Draft tomorrow....

I know what those 4 words mean, but not all together like this

 

[Jets 31]

Quarantine Grocery Draft tomorrow....

I'm sorry but whoever thought this was a good idea needs a slap .

 

[Jets 31]

 

[cheswick]

I know what those 4 words mean, but not all together like this

I don't know why this made me laugh but I had water in my mouth and to stop it from spraying everywhere I inhaled it and started coughing uncontrollably. Now the remaining two people in the office think I'm infected.

 

[SensibleGuy]

this grocery draft thing is incredibly stupid. I'd like to know who came up with it. It has a lot of Toth, but could be a Hustler joint too.

 

[PaulPooley]

Oh my gawd, 1290 must be even more unlistenable than usual right now.
