Corus Radio's Strombo Mistake

George Stroumboulopoulos is launching a new radio show.

The Strombo Show will debut on Nov. 4 on five Corus Radio stations, including Toronto's 102.1 The Edge.

However, the purpose of this article is not to promote George's show. Its intention is to point out a mistake on the part of Corus Radio.

The broadcastmagazine.com article, which was originally a press release sent out by Corus, states that George is "returning to the radio airwaves." The release gives the impression that George has not been on the air since he hosted Punkorama on The Edge. This is not true.

Up until this year, George hosted his very own radio show, every Sunday night on Toronto's CFRB 1010. The program was also simulcasted on Montreal's CJAD 800. Therefore, George is still on the radio airwaves and is only returning to Corus' airwaves.

Yes, I am nit-picking. However, it is necessary to clarify these details since Corus was only doing it vaguely.
