Brad needs to stop with the “oh god!” Otherwise love it!
Re: credibility
Congratulations on launching a new show. I am cheering on this Canadian production.
As neither of your hosts comes from a news background, it is critical to ensure that their pronunciations are accurate as to not undermine their credibility.
The word ‘premier’ is one every Canadian uses, and it is critical that when you’re talking about a provincial premier that they not say ‘premiere’.As your hosts have entertainment backgrounds, this is an easy error to make when reading from the teleprompter, but it’s a mistake you simply can’t make.
I write this only because I want the show to succeed.
Best regards,

Please let Brad know that you can’t see the Rocky Mountains from Vancouver. He was seeing the “North Shore Mountains”. Actually part of the Coast Mountain Range.
LOVE THIS! Thank you for airing this show. So much better than previous programming. Much appreciated!
At 5am disruption like my news at 5. The TMS2 hosts is so animated, not funny., they need to replace them. I would prefer Carolyn and Jeff at 5am and in the afternoon. Same content as TMS, do better use different content.
Air
Why? Two amateurs flailing their arms in the error. Thought you were losing money – want to lose more????
Wrong choice Brad Smith I won’t be watching!
Another mediocre white boy failing upward
Brilliant. Local News hosts and weather presenters are being axed left right an center so our screens can be flooded with more mind numbing liberal rubbish
