What a bunch of junk on 1410 now. Like I want to listen to a bunch of ding-dong amercans talk about baseball and football. Waste of time. The Nik and Val show, followed by Dr. Laura was so wonderful to listen to everyday. I work on the road, so I loved listening to the talk shows while driving. And then in the evening Dr. Joy Brown. Even when they split up Nikki and Valerie... that was a dissapointing day. I think they should bring it all back. Nik and Val together and Dr. Laura and Dr. Joy Brown, and the morning guys. Get rid of that TEAM 1410 and go back to CFUN!!! Mirrener, you know its a sports talk show, not just because they sound so stupid, but also because its dead silence...... boring!!! Are you serious!!!

Now, I only have CKNW which is way too political for me and the new 1410 STINKS!! Just what we DON'T need is another sports station!!!

While I think Nik was a bit of an idiot, she was funny and her stupidity was amusing.Vale Cole was sort of her straight man and they worked out well as a group as long as Nik stayed on her meds. I did get sick of them always firing hosts after a few months, just when you would be getting used to them and I did like the station better when it was all women presenters. Shannon Nelson was awesome...smart...funny...real and interesting. I like Dr.Laura in small does and Joy Brown was pretty good too...all in all, I will never be so bored as to sit listening to a play by play of sorts and don't want to hear Joe Leary yipping high fives over sports he knows nothing off. He's more suited to light, mindless gossip...he's too femme for sports. As for the hosts, I don't feel sorry for them losing their jobs anymore than anyone else. Cut the drama...a fundraiser for these over paid lips? I mean come on....maybe they need to do a HARD job....then I would feel bad for them. I bet Nik was earming at least 6-8 grand a month and half the time she was working from home in her PJ's which is a cushy job. She's a shopoholic too so this will fix her. *lol* No more Prada. ANYWAY I HATE THE IDIOTS WHO RUINED 1410...I KNOW YOU WILL FAIL AND I AM GLAD. I just got back to Canada and could not believe my 1410 has been ruined.

(lol) I miss them all so much! I, like all the other faithful listeners of talk 1410 am still in shock that they are gone (BUT NOT FORGOTTEN) ! The Hosts, the Guests, the fun made me laugh everyday. There was a real niche in the market for this type of show and maybe one day one of these local stations will figure that out and can bring back the local celebrities to make me laugh again.

My days and nights are just not the same and the silence is eerie. I won't switch to another station as they just don't have the personalties that made 1410 so interesting and fun to listen to. I really hope they all find better jobs. My thoughts are often with Nicki going through her Dad's illness and also with Simi who lost the morning TV job and now this! I really hope some one out there with the $ will pick up these talented people and present us former faithful listeners with an alternative station to support. Not only did I support 1410 by being part of the audience but I did support their sponsors, like Citrus O and several of their clothing stores over the years. Good luck and thank you to all the hosts and their producers over the years. You are appreciated and you are missed. Like the majority of you, I too miss the hosts and their shows very much.

I, too wish someone would grab the talent from CFun and continue all the shows I was addicted to. Sports stations stink!! 980 is OK, but not nearly as good. I really miss CFun.

Talk 1410 was a resource, an asset to the city, sports is a waste of time, another sports station is a waste of airspace! I hope another station has the intelligence to see the void and fill it. There is some great on-air talent up for grabs and no-one is carrying the hugely popular Coast to Coast AM show right now... ready made audience... Some say that everyone who is angry at CHUM should make it their business to boycott and harass CHUM and any business which advertises with CHUM, you know, signing them up for spam, pranking their call in lines, targeting them with computer viruses etc, but that would be wrong, so don't do it! CHUM SUCKS!

Thanks to Miss 604 for an outlet to talk about what happened at 1410 I don't get the change at all and I am sure their sponsors must have been pretty unhappy with the change. Yes you are right can email the new 1410. Sorry JoJo didn’t mean any offense.

I'm friendly with several former 1410 on air hosts who were all fired and I'm afraid my dear Lisa, that is THEIR opinion. I don't know Joe personally, I'm merely communicating what HIS former co-workers have expressed. I'm sure you can e-mail the station directly to voice your opinion. And by the way, YES, I would turn down a job from an employer who without any notice or regard FIRED 19 of my co-workers in less than 10 minutes. I'm not that desperate for a job.
