Now, re-connect with their favourite personalities and shows. Some producers are making unofficial replacement shows and you can listen to them here.

Look, we all love our jobs and want to be back at our jobs soon and put the programming you love back on the radio. In the meantime, I hope this helps.
What these people will be learning is that anybody can be the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation these days, and it will be interesting to see what role this plays in their dispute. Stay tuned.
(Thanks, Steve.)
