Listeners were shocked and surprised when, at midnight last night, Ryerson’s CKLN radio station switched its programming from alternative talk and music to the new “All Country, All the Time” format.
“I was shocked,” said a surprised Aleona Parkdale-Funk, who found out about the change when she left Catch 22 late last night after a hard night of spinning records for “Alterno-Feminist-Hip-Hop-Techno-Anti-Racism-Equality-Groove Night.”
Parkdale-Funk says she put on her Walkperson headphones expecting to hear her favourite show—”Earnest Young Marginalized People Discuss Issues to Put You to Sleep By”—when suddenly a guy who sounded like Woody Harrelson in Natural Born Killers drawled, “You ain’t seen nothing yet.”
“It was a nightmare,” Parkdale-Funk lamented. “He played back-to-back Billy Ray Cyrus cuts until dawn.”
Some say the change was inevitable. The entire CKLN core staff was sacked last week after the station was bought by the Wogers Corporation.
“What the hell,” the Czar said. “I own half of Ryerson anyway. I like to listen to my kind of music when I visit the campus. Hooo-weee. I do love that country!”
Ryerson president Terry Grief, involved in an exclusive and rare interview with The Ryersonian, could not be reached for comment.
