I'm a bit behind on the news. But the reason for George's don't give a rats ass attitude on Much Music as of late, has been explained.
It seems the G man has been made an offer by the CBC to host his own hour long show on Newsworld.
His departure from Much is sad only in the fact that theres nothing worth while left on that station. The VJ's left there are all tools, and Loud has been reduced to a measly 30min stint. The Wedge is on at such random intervals that I can't even remember the last time I saw it, and as far as I know R U Receiving is gone. The New Music is still a great George hosted show but I usually catch it's first airing on CityTV not the reruns on Much.
The Loud channel might be good, but I wouldn't know since I don't actually have a digital cable box to watch it on.
These days I get my music video quota by checking out news sites and downloading whatever video they say is out. Friendly P2P sources are great for that sort of thing.
Now to the George side of the story. Ever since Much started to take a nose dive, I've been expecting George to bail.
Having to take part in Fandamodium, the Fear-Factor for kids show on Much, appears to be what finally broke the camels hump. I'm surprised that he didn't quit when the idea for the show, let alone him taking part in it, was brought up.
Having been a fan of his since the Edge 102 days, and having had the chance to speak with him on several occasions, as well as having run into and stood by him in the middle of more than a few mosh-pits through out the years, I can honestly say that he is a good guy and I wish him the best of luck on his new stint at CBC Newsworld. His Tommy Douglas - Greatest Canadian piece on the CBC a few weeks back was quite good. Hell I went and voted for Tommy after George made such a convincing argument on his behalf. So I'm sure he'll do just fine over there.
