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?

Hell hath no fury like queer radio listeners scorned.

The dust is barely settling since last week’s sudden firing of not one—but four—Proud FM radio personalities: Deb Pearce, Patrick Marano (the morning team), Mark Wigmore and Shaun Proulx (the afternoon drive team). Read the full story

For weeks now on PROUD FM we have been having the people in from TICOT  (The Imperial Court of Toronto) talking about the election and coronation of their newest Empress.  For those who don’t know (as I didn’t), there are courts in many many cities in Canada and the U.S..  The members of the court basically raise money for charities.  Two candidates stood before us.  One, well spoken, in full face makeup and jewels, bearing gift bags and home baked cookies.  The other, not nearly as much effort, not even appearing in drag. This went on for weeks, with one candidate clearly the front runner (in my mind anyway).  Finally the elections took place and we anxiously awaited the announcing of the new empress at the coronation.  I didn’t get to go, but Mark, a well known face in the Village, did (see pic below).  The result?  An upset!  Follow the progress of TICOT as we continue to interview them on BREAKFAST IN BED with PATRICK & DEB on 103.9 PROUD FM, M-F 6-10a

Did radio kill the video star? Nope. Never.  But this video star just got a helluva nice promotion!
