My radio has been tuned to CFNY more or less by default for years.  Most people
are aware of the schitzo program changes over the last few years, and the
firing and resignation of many of the classic CFNY staff.  I kept listening
only because it was the least irritating source of background noise that could
be relied on for regular information reports (news, weather, etc.).

Since the station was sold, flakey on-air personalities have been disappearing
and names from the past keep cropping up.  I can't even remember the names of
the banished flakes (hey, its been days), but yesterday morning I heard Live
Earl Jive and Beverley Hills talking to Reiner Schwartz about Don Berns in 
the afternoon.  What gives?  Anyone know if this is part of a scheme to bring
back commercial alternative radio?

I still remember, years ago, Earl Jive announcing: "...and that was Tubular
Bells, by Mike Oldfield...and now, side two..."  Maybe there's more of this
on the way.
