Open Lines.ASTRAL MEDIA SILENCES VOICE OF TRUTH IN CANADA
On Tuesday January 20th, 2009 controversial Canadian broadcaster Richard Syrett was terminated from his post at juggernaut radio station NewsTalk 1010 without warning. Despite rising profits (Astral Media recently announced first quarter profits rose to $42.4 M, from a year ago - $37.5M) Canada's largest radio and pay-TV operator chose to fire this courageous man. All the more puzzling is the fact that his show remained one of the top rated evening programs in the market. And, recently the station expanded his format from two hours to three and then from four nights a week to five.
Syrett's Show quickly became a beacon of hope, light and truthfulness in an otherwise bleak and insipid, radio wasteland after his return to CFRB's fold in early 2007. Prior to that, he exposed evil and corruption Friday nights on AM 640. His faithful fan-base, extended across North America and around the world listening in on the internet.
