Default Anyone else miss Bruce Bowie?

Since the reformatting of the morning show on CHED, it’s not the same. More of a gab fest on rhetoric than engaging the listeners. I don’t mind Shae Ganham, but Chelsea Bird comes off as a bit of an airhead. I sure do miss Bruce Bowie’s calm voice and his approach on topics of the day..

Chelsey is an idiot. Period. She was a big brother canada contestant. Need I say more?

I sent a letter to Syd Smith, program director, can't stand their afternoon host now that Andrew is gone. Never got a response.

I think Shae Ganam will eventually be the sole host on the morning show.

All I tune into now is Bob, Reid, and the hockey or football broadcasts. My ears hurt when I try to listen to the rest of the programming.

CHED died with Rock n Roll.

Default Ched

With Bruce B gone in the mornings and Andrew Grose gone in the afternoon I find both hard to listen to. Things change.

Agree with all the above comments. I as well spend all day in my truck. I used to listen all day long, but now the only thing worth listening to is oilers now. Even Stauffer can get to me.Maybe its just old age getting to me!

Totally agree. They might as well just talk about stuff they saw on their Facebook feeds in the morning because it would have more substance. There's a reason Jespo has to come on every morning to babysit them.

Bruce Bowie? How old is he now? I see Bryan Hall and Bob whatsizname are still kicking around too. I remember these guys from when I was growing up in the Edmonton area. I thought they were old then. I'm now retired and they are still on the air? got to look up Chuck Chandler....

My dad said the same thing, Hall was blabbing on the air in 1955 I believe? The guy has to be honestly 108 years old.

Bruce Bowie was great. I don't listen to CHED anymore and now that I know Shaye Ganam is on there with his Liberal views I will not listen. I went to school with Shaye all the way from Kindergarten to high school. Thanks for the warning. lol

Where I live I can listen to ched and qr770. Other than Smith and Breakenridge the rest aren't worth listening to. Like I mentioned above the 'gal' on the 770 morning show has an agenda that completely clouds her perspective.

Must be Bruce Wowie, you speak of...Every sentence ended with a WOW.
Even though I couldn't watch Ganam on the tube, I can handle him a bit longer than Wowie. I do like Smith, so it's not like I hate everybody ...haha
