Yes, I used to have the full 4 hours of this launch breakfast show with Mike Baker, but I can hear Jay and Allen saying that they don't like that 18-minute news block from 7:45am as it just completely ruins the flow of the station. I'm sure they also said something like "Let's cut the chat and put local news on the half-hour only at peak times Monday to Saturday so that the station sounds national and gives Capital a run for its money !" Ah well, it worked for about three years, but then they couldn't get away with it any longer.
