Talk:CFRA

message: I deleted the following content as it was both unsourced and questionable :
* CFRA leans in the conservative direction and is arguably the most conservative major radio station in Canada outside of Alberta.
:Note that even if most/all talk show hosts are/would be conservative, it is something else entirely to claim that CFRA is a conservative station.  I am unaware of any evidence that says that CFRA has any official political positions.
Sure, sure... and FOX News isn't conservative either, right?  Give me a break —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.230.70.160 (talk • contribs) 
*CFRA's advertising motto has been "Left on the dial, right on the issues."
:This motto only appeared in this article and could not be found anywhere else on the Internet.
Obviously you have not listened to CFRA on a regular basis.  If you had, you would have known that it indeed was their slogan.  If you only fact check from the internet as your source for information, then you're simplistic at best.  Please make an effort next time and call the CFRA station management to confirm that the slogan existed rather than flippantly deleting things you know nothing about—Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.230.70.160 (talk • contribs) 
*The radio station's website uses a tory blue colour motif.
:This is, as far as I know, pure speculation.  Reasons why this type of speculation is unacceptable should be obvious. 
Again, call the station management to find out, rather than just deleting things

message: I added a section on the CSBC. There have been two cases where complaints were made against The Lowell Green Show to the CSBC. This is not any secret. Green has spoken about these cases himself. I think that they are however notable and deserve a place either on this article (a good candidate) or on the Lowell Green page. I think the former makes more sense as there is no article (as of yet) for The Lowell Green Show       TurtleMelody (talk) 04:53, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

message: One of CFRA's most famous personalities was Ken "The General" Grant (Ken Grattan) who joined CFRA in 1961. His nickname was conferred on him by a listener following a segment on General Ulysses Grant. He dominated the morning show scene through the 60's, 70's and 80's and stayed on the air there until 1993. He ultimately left the station in 1996. He was a local celebrity in Ottawa and appeared at fundraisers and public events. He was an ambassador for the Alzheimer's Society. He was involved in the Jerry Lewis Muscular Dystrophy Telethon. He published his memoir entitled "I woke up with 'The General' too!" in 2015.
