Media & Journalism in Ottawa/Gatineau

101.1 actually used to be a country station before it was CityNews. In fact when I moved back to Ottawa a few years ago I was surprised to learn it had become a news station, while Country had gone to 92.3 (reversed with yesterday's news).

I was watching CTV Ottawa Morning earlier today and Bill Carol was on (as he always is) to complain about the Carbon Tax. How do they let go of a beloved radio personality and community leader like Stuntman Stu, but keep that out of touch complainer with constant bad takes like Bill Carol. Infuriating.

Complaining about the carbon tax is Bill Carroll's job.

Stuntman Stu is also an out-of-touch complainer with constant bad takes, though.

Well, yeah. Suburbanite from Farhaven who loves big pickups and thinks the only way to get anywhere is by driving. His recent suggestions for Sens Arena locations were mind numbing.

That said, aside from Stu's occasional car-brained takes, he was generally a positive voice on the radio, while Bill Carol does nothing but complain about everything.

Bill sounds like he eats fried eggs and bacon 3x a day, or equivalent.

I wonder if he still uses his My Pillows he shilled for back in the day.
