Congratulations to Bill Cloutier, GM of Entercom's Rochester group
(WBEE-FM, WBBF, WQRV, WEZO).  He's leaving radio behind to become
executive VP/sales director of RegionalHelpWanted.com.  Best of
luck...

*Across the border: More than a year after sister station CJEM (570
Edmundston NB) moved to FM (on 92.7), CKMV Grand Falls (Grand-Sault)
wants to jump to FM as well.  The current transmitter on 1490 would be
replaced by a 975 watt FM outlet on 95.1 if the CRTC approves.  Also
plotting a move to FM is CJLP (1230 Disraeli QC), which would join
parent CKLD Thetford Mines.  CKLD moved from 1330 to 105.5 a few years
ago; CJLP would go to 107.1 with a whopping 57.2 watts.

The Toronto morning scene is changing again: John Derringer is headed
back to his old afternoon slot at CILQ (Q107), leaving behind the
morning gig at sports CJCL (Fan 590).  Derringer quit Q107 a few years
ago when he was denied the morning spot, which later went to Howard
Stern...but now rumor (wait, this is Canada -- "rumour") has it that
the license (wait -- "licence") transfer of Q107 from WIC to Corus
(the broadcast group formerly known as Shaw) could go faster if Stern
is off the air.  Pat Marsden is handling mornings on Fan 590 in the
meantime.

*That's all for this week; more next Friday!
