MOVING ONWARD

Happy 46th wedding anniversary mom and dad!  I remember celebrating their 25th at a small banquet hall in Winnipeg.  I was emcee and many family and friends took time to speak about their experiences with my parents.  Has it been 21 years? 

The house is back on the market and so far the lookers are materializing!  Hopefully, this go around, we will find a buyer and the next chapter in my career can begin. 

I have had ample time to work on a social media protocol for both stations, which has been quite refreshing.  House keeping was in order, figuring out what we had and who was involved.  I feel that all systems are now streamlined and adhere to safe practices.  It’s pretty crazy how quickly social media can get out of control when you have about 20 people on staff who are motivated to get in involved but no one to steer the ship.  I have developed what I refer to as a “Social Media Producer” position, not dissimilar to the role of a standard broadcast commercial producers only utilizing social media, video, images and graphic design as the medium.  I think that this is really the answer for our growing company at the moment and in the future.  Upon moving to Calgary, I hope to hand over the keys to this new position to one person who can take on the challenge.

Coltrane and Adderley are growing up too quickly.  In the last month, Adderley has learned to crawl and can now stand when holding on to something.  Coltrane is a boy and “baby Coltrane” will forever be a memory at this point.  I freaking love those guys.

Spent this entire week attending CRTC hearings in Surrey.  It was awesome witnessing many of the local broadcasting “players” in action.  The CRTC staff was fantastic, never missing a detail.  We will find out the results of our proposal likely in the next 45 days and the outcome will have a significant footprint on the future of radio in the City of Surrey.
