Humble and Fred's Perfect Storm - A Radio Revolution?
Published by Toronto Mike on August 4, 2011 @ 14:26 in Humble and Fred, Radio
If you've been here before, you might know I'm personal friends with both Humble Howard and Fred Patterson of the old Humble and Fred radio program. Before I ever met the guys, however, I was a fan of their morning show on CFNY / Edge 102. They made me laugh throughout the 90s. Damn, I miss the 90s...
Let's see... Humble was on Boom doing a morning show with Colleen Rusholme until May when he was fired. Here's a few of his thoughts upon being fired again. He's okay...
Fred was the Program Director for the Corus stations in Peterborough. Then, last month, he was fired. He shared the whole story with me via phone yesterday. He too, will be okay...
That means both Humble and Fred are currently being paid to not work. They're both a little bitter, too... a little pissed off... and they both want to work as Humble and Fred.
It's a perfect storm of sorts. There is a plan for Humble and Fred, a future for the duo. No, I'm not about to announce they're the new morning show for < insert station here >, but they are on the brink of what I believe is a radio revolution.
Are you ready for Humble and Fred Radio?

yes. yes i am.
if it's their own internet station or whatever, then it only makes sense that if music's in the mix, it's open form and/or the best alternative music of all time (and deeper cuts too)
and, if they'd have me i'd work with them for free in my spare time. i'd love to host a block of time, spinning music, doing some offbeat commentary,etc. i've got some experience in the field, can record at home, and grew up with cfny so pass it along Mr.Mikey.
