 Kudos, to News 95.7 for their coverage on the Stones event this weekend. What I heard from the station that is weeks away of celebrating their first year in the Metro marketplace was great from noon on until around 9:30 at night.
It seems not only did they bring in their weekday staff (Doug Reynolds, Scott Simpson and Company) they also brought extra people including a lady from Moncton (Jeannie MacGillivray) who other than thinking she was in Moncton (and that is forgivable) did a good job. MacGillivray does the afternoon run on the Moncton News 91.9 station and filled in for Jennifer MacDonald who had a prior commitment.

Legislation by the way that will have serious repercussions to Canadian drug consumers in the form of severe shortages for our own prescription needs.
