CHOM drops PJ Stock, Merv Williams from morning show – Fagstein — Mon, 14 Mar 2011 08:56:15 +0000

[...] Apparently unhappy at being the only anglo music radio station to not make major changes to its morning show, CHOM has decided to drop PJ Stock, the former hockey player and Hockey Night in Canada analyst who joined the station a little over a year ago. [...]

I agree with Christine. Someone once introduced me to Pj Stock. I thought he was kind but I now know he's raising his stake from what I hear in several ways. He has his role and has people believing it. For now I have a different morning drive routine.. Cause that's old....

I don't get PJ Stock. Am I missing something here? He repeats the same jokes consistently and most of my friends agree he's terrible on Hockey Night in Canada as well. He sounds really immature and just tries very hard to be some sort of fun cool guy. Sorry PJ - it's not working!!

Being an avid CHOM listener for over 30 years, I have been there with all the changes. Actually I was getting tired of the CLASSICS time to hear some new alternative music. I loved Ted Birds comments so sorry he has left. As for PJ well.... tell him to articulate when he talks... man take the mashed potatoes out of you mouth!!!!

Wow, PJ Stock. This is what CHOM had in mind as the replacement for Ted Bird. My God. Ted is/was far more entertaining, far more intelligent, knowledgable, and a way better broadcaster. Listening to PJ Stock is like listening to a used hockey bag. I'm done with CHOM. What a sad demise.

Chom STOCK has gone down drastically since they aquired him. I know a LOT of CHOM listeners and I cannot find one who doesn't say "I can't stand him"

Please....do your listeners a favor and dump him, he sucks.

Dead air is better than listening to this guy.

Can I ask Mr.Bird for his comment on his no comment?

I would think Astral Media wouldn't be too happy about my constant bitching about them. I write about local media, which includes local radio. I don't take "the time to find depth in difficult topics an issues." I think you might be confusing me with some more serious blogger.

I have no comment on the guy who says I comment too much on this website.

No, you're right insofar as this specific story begs for a quote by him, but even you must admit there's been an unusual amount of friendly posts about him, a Montrealer who has done no more for the city than hundreds, if not thousands, of voiceless others who don't have a corporate soapbox on which to share their bosses (shaped) message. This is your blog, you can write what you want, but part of your success is that you're a well grounded writer. However, this Bird obsession makes you seem like a star-struck teenager for someone who was just doing what Astral and Virgin told them to do (and his Twitter makes me cringe at how bad it is) instead of the writer we've come to know who takes the time to find depth in difficult topics and issues.

You don't think it makes sense to get Ted Bird's comments on the guy who's been hired to replace him?

For that he'd have to actually setup a home studio. But hey, anything's possible.

You might as well start asking Ted Bird for comments on every single story you write. You like him. We get it. ~

Seeing as it's only two hours a day for four days a week maybe he'll do it from the comfort of his home rather than travel from the West Island to downtown each morning, similar to the "Studio West" set-up that Kevin and Trudy had on CJAD.

Isn't there a truism that where you have doubt about the reason for an event, simply "follow the money"? I'm sure there'll be the standard stuff like "well, it's just a couple of hours early in the morning and Fridays off so I'll have much more time to spend with the family" but I'm guessing the truism will most apply, albeit unsaid.

Are we gonna have another bad pun for his segment? Stock Talk, Stock Exchange, how many more pun can you do with his name?

PJ Party?

Money always talks. PJ is a great guy. At times he is an acquired taste, left to his own devices he can be funny at times. I hope it works for him. CHOM is just too "cranola", time to bring in new music already. Ted had a unique wry sense of humor. The Montreal listening landscape will miss that.
