         Well all she does is repeat the news without understanding what she is saying. ted has caught her so many times just parroting the lines on her script. When he asks her to elaborate she was flustered. But they get rid of Coulombe on CJAD. Now she new her stuff.
         So what happened to Thumbs again?

   Were the listeners consulted?!
   I’m not impressed with the morning changes.
   Pete is great in the pm. his music choices are too
   “ruff” for the morning.
   Not sure how the “banter” will go. Team dynamics is everything.

   I will now be looking for a new station a I cannot stand Pete Marier. He is far too self centered and does not aloow anyone else to participate in discussions. They should have left him to have his own spot with no other commentators . Big MISTAKE

   Bad Pete is fantastic. I used to look forward to DiMonte and then Kemp’s vacation just so I could hear Bad Pete in the morning. His music ROCKs and his sense of humor is bang on. The morning show was getting way too predictable and booooooring and the music very run of the mill. Bad Pete will shake things up. Overall its a great move for the morning. Not sure about keeping the other two on the morning show though…

      The new morning show is crap, Pete his booooooring, when Terry and then Rob was in vacation I change the channel for the week. The only thing Pete is good for is interrupting Kim and Ted when they speak, by telling irrelevant comments. CHOM have to change something before they lose all there listener.

      Pete Marier is horrible in the morning. He was better on the drive at 5 exchanging jibes with the traffic girl.

      Rob was a breath of treash air after Terry, and brought out the best in Kim and Merv!

   Did you notice on the Musique-plus website that Joanne Vrakas was born in 2038. Looks good for her age!

      I did notice that actually. They’re just getting younger and younger…

   CHOM’s got the two types of music that count… the McRock and the McRoll.

    English Montreal radio sucks a**. Thank god I listen to XM satellite radio where I can listen to Opie and Anthony in the morning; sure they’re shock jocks, but are extremely entertaining and intelligent, qualities sadly lacking in our local market.

    Haven’t any heard any of the new rock that’s supposed to be thrown in there too. Nor seen the revolution.

    Boring and tired music.

    Kemp sucks, he’s music sucks too, too much Grunge is being played, imo grunge ain’t rock, and never were.

       Totally disagree about comments about Kemp. He was most listenable part of morning show. And by the way, Vynn… the djs don’t pick the music… the managers of the station do.

          Kemp is best in a team dynamic as the morning show. He lets co-DJs speak and be heard, Merv became hilarious during the Kemp era. IMHO Alone he isn’t as entertaining.

    I love the fact that Pete is in the morning seat. He has great dynamics. I could not stand the “Pop” of Kemp!

    Wow i cant believe that the self centered and own voice aficionado pirate is driving the morning show.

    I think from now on i will talk to my wife in the car instead of Chom.

    Ciao and good luck!

    I’M LOVING THE NEW MORNING SHOW.. LOVE THE MUSIC AND LOVE BAD PETE. THE OLD TRIO DID TOO MUCH TALKING. AND WHO CARES ABOUT TED AND DANIELLE’S PERSONAL LIFE, I WANNA HEAR SOME ROCK N ROLL!!

    I don’t think Kemp was “pop”. At least he brought a fresh perspective to the show. Now you just have 2 grumpy old men. My chom morning-listening days are OVER and frankly almost everyone I talk to says the same thing. And afternoons are no better. The Butt show? completely juvenile.

    I cannot stand Pete MArier in the morning. Way too loud and nonsensical. He does not mesh with Ted (who is becomming more and more of a cumerdgeon.)
    Sharon Hyland could run circles around the two of them. Tha lady rocks!
    Kim is irrelevant-she just rereads articles from the Gazette.
