ScaleDown Radio Premier (Updated Again)
ScaleDown, in its bid to dominate the local media scene, is launching its brand-new radio show on CJAM 91.5 FM!Join hosts Mark Boscariol and Chris Holt as they try to make sense of all the little buttons and knobs at the radio station, all while having a little fun discussing and dissecting our local cultural/social/economic/political scene with an eye towards making things a little bit better.
“Someone’s gotta be able to fix this mess!”
Yeah, Windsor could be considered to be “a mess”, but wait and see the shape it’s in when Chris and Mark start imposing their will on our elected officals and the Planning/Traffic Departments! This weekly one-hour show promises to be a lot of fun, and at the same time providing some much-needed insight into what makes Windsor tick. We promise to have regular guests who can help us understand our current affairs and situations a little better.Want to play a part in the action? Well, folks, it’s a call-in show as well! Pick up the phone and dial 519.971.3630 in Windsor, or 313.963.6112 ext: 3630 in Detroit to have your say on the topics of the day or to speak with our on-air guests.So tune in and tune in often. The premier is Tuesday, but the show will run every Tuesday from noon ’til 1:00 on CJAM 91.5 FM; Redefining Radio in Windsor and Detroit.Don’t worry if you cannot tune in live because the program will be streamed live on CJAM’s website, as well as archived on both CJAM’s site and www.scaledown.ca.
OK - until we figure out how to get these huge audio files on scaledown, here’s a link to CJAM’s site where you can listen to todays show. Cheers!

Tough time slot! What would we ever do these days without downloads.
congrats on the show! can’t wait to hear it. i’m gonna sneak some headphones into the office and listen in
Absolutely great idea! Well done…doing! Aw..looking forward to it, although I am work at that time, as BBS said, will be checking the downloads. Can or could one email questions into the show, if they aren’t really able to call in from work? But maybe, just maybe able to listen on the sly…aww I mean on their lunch break.
HEY! The Homepage Picture Changed! Great Job James!
Absolutely, Urbanrat! email those questions/observations/intuitions to info@scaledown.ca and we can read them on-air (as long as the internet in the studio is working)

Great idea! I will be listening every Tuesday! You know I will be calling in quite a bit as well? ; )
When I was a kid, I went to Patterson CI, where the Food Basics on Goyeau is now. Downtown had Smiths and Ademan’s and Epps for clothes and household items, plus a Kresgie’s, Woolworths and Metropolitan Store. The A&P was where they are tearing down Jokers, at Elliott, I think. The Dominion was at Wyandotte where the Herb Gray Centre is, and the Lawblaws was at Tuscorora where the bingo has been. Mom would make us walk from Bruce near Pine up to those stores to help her carry home food. She had to shop two or three times a week, because the freezer in fridges was so small then. Mom didn’t drive. She didn’t have a fur coat either, although Windsor sold more fur than anyplace in Canada except Montreal because people came to Windsor from Detroit. I remember when Dad drove us to the big new Dominion Store on Dougall when it opened. It was way out past the Elmwood (now it’s Value Village). The huge Sentry department store was at the other end of that new plaza. That life is gone. Downtown no longer means anything. We go to a restaurant there because of the restaurant, not because it’s downtown. Hanging onto the past without a vision for the future is useless. Our downtown needs a vision. A bold vision for 2020 — one that will take incremental investments. A bold vision is much more than an arena or an urban village or an academic building (as if academics attract commerce — do you see an economic boom around the core campus?). Windsor has a unique location, a unique history and unique advantages. What could our downtown be in 2020 that it has never been before? Answer that and we can do something. Keep jumping from little idea to little idea, we get nowhere.
