Toronto needs an FM Talk Radio Station owned by TTP MEDIA
Thanks to everyone who supported Tietolman Tetrault Pancholy Media's bid to acquire 88.1FM to create Toronto's first FM news talk radio station. On Thursday May 10, 2012, TTP Media made its pitch at the CRTC's application hearing for 88.1FM. For more information on TTP Media's presentation at the hearing check out my blog.
TTP Media's vision for Toronto's first FM news talk radio station is to have 24/7 local talk shows, 24/7 local top of hour newscasts, more time for radio and broadcast journalism students to get live on air experience, more GTA news coverage and no US syndicated overnight shows or infomercials.
