First of all they were not written to for over a week, becaus it wasn't until Sunday Feb 3 that their lowly station was even dropped as a source ( see my post on Sunday morning folks! ) And then it was actually the fans that wrote in, you Steve I'm sure, myself and others that pointed out the Sun article inaccuracies and original date of publication. It's digits like this that made radio the piece of kaka it is today.

They absolutely loved the free publicity this rumor generated for them, and I'm beginning to wonder if the first report pointing the finget at them was actually planted by them!!! Strange how their program directors and dj's all were absolutely clueless to this when I wrote them all starting Sunday morning!

I think you are reading way too much into this, I'm sure after getting a few hundred emails asking them if it were true they realized how much it was spreading around. They have a lot more important things to do than research bogus articles or create them. National publicity does nothing to generate advertising dollars, the AFTRA voice talent union forbids their spots from being played online. It would do between little and nothing for them. Personally, I wouldn't want to be quoted as the source for such a rumor. I think they handled it the right way, even if their sister station IS the flagship station for the Maple Leafs :)
