Turning Off “The Shame Of Toronto”

Used to be that when it came to 103.9 Proud FM, I was like Annie Wilkes, the station’s #1 fan.  I listened all day, and was often on The Shaun Proulx Show (hey, wonder if he will have me on his TV version still?)  But ever since “gay radio” fired it’s gay stars including Shaun, Mark Wigmore, Patrick Marano and Deb Pearce without cause, my dial is tuned elsewhere and I’m with the growing number of outraged protesters over on the Facebook page, Proud FM – The Shame of Toronto.

Call me crazy, but I expect better treatment of our gay allies from a supposed gay radio station.  Now where’s my axe?

    I loved Proud Fm since it’s debut, I can relate to the frusteration people have over the firing of 4 equally talented hosts who brought followings to the radio station. I was just as frusterated when they let go of Maggie a few years back. Yes it is reality that good talented people do get fired, but I question when it’s 4 at once. Ya know ? Glad to see that there’s still the hallarious Richard Ryder and chirpy Miss Conception in the City, who also represent the commmunity on the air.
