    Memories of Lloyd Robertson with Ted woloshyn, Tuesday, September 29, 2026

    Ted Woloshyn noted that Lloyd Robertson was widely regarded as the most trusted man in Canadian broadcasting. Ted Woloshyn recalled that Lloyd Robertson was the first guest approached for the podcast launched in September 2021. Ted Woloshyn hosted Lloyd Robertson for nearly an hour, sharing career stories and broadcasting experiences. Ted Woloshyn highlighted that Lloyd Robertson hosted W5 and covered major national and international events after retiring. Evolution and economics of radio broadcasting Ted Woloshyn noted that national news broadcasts and morning shows no longer generate the audiences or revenue of 20 years ago. Ted Woloshyn stated that major broadcasting spending has shifted from morning shows and evening newscasts to sports talent. Ted Woloshyn observed that traditional radio career progression has changed as cost-saving measures place recent graduates directly into major stations. Ted Woloshyn noted that telecom-owned radio stations often aired generic syndicated morning shows from other cities rather than local coverage. Ted Woloshyn explained that 680 News maintains high tune-in numbers using a 15-minute news wheel format for traffic, weather, and sports. Shifting news consumption habits Ted Woloshyn noted that evening television newscasts have dropped significantly in viewership because audiences access real-time information online. Ted Woloshyn stated that they avoid paying for online news publications behind paywalls when free news sources are widely available. Toronto municipal elections and endorsements Ted Woloshyn discussed Getty Lee publicly endorsing Brad Bradford in the Toronto municipal election due to concerns over city direction. Ted Woloshyn questioned whether celebrity endorsements from musicians or actors actually influence voter decisions compared to candidate platforms. Toronto Blue Jays season and roster The team shifted from last to first and back to last place across 3 seasons. Vlatty experienced a challenging season following notable contract commentary and injuries. George Springer and Max Scherzer face uncertain futures with the team entering the offseason. Chris Bassitt was a significant loss for the rotation during the season. The front office traded key pieces at the deadline and acquired promising talent like Baitman. Ted Woloshyn podcast schedule and availability The podcast operated twice a month during the summer months due to familial obligations. The first week of October features a replayed interview with David Marsden. Patrick McKenna and Ron James appear together on the second week of October.

    Broadcasting, Politics, and Oilers with Lynda Steele, Thursday, August 13, 2026

    Discussions analyzed Canada's trade tensions, systemic media industry decline, and evolving professional sports landscapes and fan dynamics. Trade Tensions and Unity Canada faces aggressive tariff conflicts despite United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement protections. National leverage remains underutilized due to fragmented provincial support and lack of a unified political front. Media Industry Decline Major telecom conglomerates are systematically closing stations and cutting newsroom staff, resulting in diminished local content and eroded public trust. Remote work and corporate cost-cutting further exacerbate this structural decline. Sports Commentary and Parity Rising costs make sports broadcasting elitist, while hockey commentary relies on strong broadcast personalities for fan engagement. Canadian teams face persistent challenges regarding tax parity and competitive player recruitment.
