Where did it go?

So, I'm driving back to work after a quick lunch break, listening to MOJO Radio 730 AM Sports talk radio, as I usually do in the car, when the clock turns to 12:00 noon. Poof, 10 seconds of static, then a monologue for AM 730, "All traffic all drive time and the best of talk radio" cue a 15 second clip of some song related to driving, repeat, over and over again. Without a warning or hint whatsoever, not even a farewell to the radio listening audience, Sports Talk Radio AM 730 had become a 24/7 Vancouver traffic station.

Wham! Bam! Thank you Ma'am! Apparantly Chorus Radio Vancouver, who owns the station, decided after 17 months of Sports radio, it could no longer compete with the other Vancouver area sports talk radio station Team 1040. Now arguably, with the BC Lions going exclusive to Team 1040 last season and the Canucks set to do the same next season, the writing was probably on the wall. But where's the respect for your listening audience. At least give us a warning or a lead in of sorts. It didn't even hit the local papers until the next day. And the kicker for us poor saps in Victoria is that we can't pick up Team 1040 because they had to tone down their signal so as not to interfere with the local News talk radio CFAX 1070.

I don't know what to do. I'm at a loss. I can occasionally pick up ESPN radio out of Bellingham, but it's not the same. Poof. One minute it's sports talk, the next it's traffic and I'm one ticked off listener. Now where am I going to go to rant against those Yankees bandwagon jumping talk show hosts?
