Radio Gazza - Canadian Radio Update for March 6th, 2009

The countdown is on for CMW 2009, and by all accounts it's going to be an interesting one. Lots of great bands are playing, but still up in the air is how many attendees they will have. If you're looking for me, I'll probably be in the lobby of the Fairmont or it's adjacent watering holes for most of my time in Toronto.

Notable:
-The Fan 590 to air all Team Canada games from the World Baseball Classic
-XM Radio Canada to air The Indie Music Awards live on "The Verge"
-Sarah & Jay announced as new morning show on CURVE
-AOL Radio app for iPhone allows live radio streaming
-Garth Ross out at Rogers Calgary
-CHUM Radio eliminates 40 positions (17 terminations and 23 vacancies that will not be filled.)
