Radio Gazza - Canadian Radio Update for August 15th, 2008

We're well into the dog days of summer at this point which means the final round of vacation before fall ratings begin. This leaves a lot of stations in coast mode for another week, before things get rejigged and we move into the most important ratings period of the year.

Notable:
Toronto Alt Rocker 102.1 The Edge (CFNY) remains without a PD for another week. Rumor has it that an internal shuffle will be happening ASAP and that a predecessor for Alan Cross will be named next week, with a September start date.

99.3 The Fox (CFOX) Vancouver announced the winner of their annual CFOX Seeds competition this week. This years champ is Incura (http://www.myspace.com/incura) and they pick up among other things, a management consultation Coalition Entertainment, an agency consultation deal with Ralph James, Studio time at Mushroom in Vancouver and the opening slot for Stone Temple Pilots at FOXFEST 2008.
