Marty's Musings!: BMW Run Flat tires - things you learn 'too late.'
http://radiowiseinc.blogspot.com/2013/04/bmw-run-flat-tires-things-you-learn-too.html
Tuesday, April 9, 2013. BMW Run Flat tires - things you learn 'too late.'. I had 'one of those days' this past weekend - which, in a positive manner, I will call a -. I have a great car - a BMW Z4 Roadster. It's a tremendous machine, finely crafted, sheer power when you need it, corners like a dream, and has several wonderful 'safety' features that provide you with a great deal of comfort.and it looks good too! So you just hunker down and let the car crawl along until you clear the back-up. Which means t...

Marty's Musings!: Radio managed by remote control....
http://radiowiseinc.blogspot.com/2015/08/radio-managed-by-remote-control.html
Thursday, August 6, 2015. Radio managed by remote control. I proudly worked with the finest ownership groups in Canadian radio over 4 decades. They were all great radio stations owned by great radio broadcast groups - plain and simple. From 'day one' in my career these companies hired the very best General Managers in the business that they could find and/or 'develop' in their systems. Can you imagine that share today :). A 'great' General Manager does many things to make a radio station highly successful.

Marty's Musings!: I wish I was as tough as....my kid!
http://radiowiseinc.blogspot.com/2012/03/i-wish-i-was-as-tough-asmy-kid.html
Monday, March 12, 2012. I wish I was as tough as.my kid! Both my daughters, Lauren and Rayanne. Are proud when I teach them. Things - but in reality - I'm twice as proud because I learn things FROM them too. First off, because she's the oldest, LAUREN. Lauren's a 'rock' - strong, confident, knows where she is going in life, kind, warm, and gentle. She's always the one to point out a new band to me - she loves hockey and football - and motorcycles. Wonder where she got that from eh? Please read and share&...

Marty's Musings!: Memorable Moments Series - Piece #1
http://radiowiseinc.blogspot.com/2011/09/memorable-moments-series-piece-1.html
Saturday, September 3, 2011. Memorable Moments Series - Piece #1. Many times since I 'almost' retired from radio about three years ago several pals have suggested I write a book to chronicle the 'halcyon' days of the broadcasting business. I've thought about it often but it would be difficult as I likely couldn't use real names for threat of legal action from the 'guilty' parties nor has the statute of limitations expired from some of those little indiscretions that some may constitute as 'crimes' today.

Marty's Musings!: Buying or selling a home? Check out For Sale by Owner!
http://radiowiseinc.blogspot.com/2015/05/buying-or-selling-home-check-out-for.html
Tuesday, May 12, 2015. Buying or selling a home? Check out For Sale by Owner! We’re in the digital age. Smart phones and tablets have changed ‘everything’ for consumers who now have the power in their hands to make a purchase via those applications wherever they go - anywhere in the world. That buying power has now come to real estate as home buyers, or sellers, can now engage transactions via a website called ForSalebyOwner.ca. For sellers, by dialing in to the website you can ‘very easily’ ...And if yo...

Marty's Musings!: Radio comes late to the app party
http://radiowiseinc.blogspot.com/2011/12/radio-comes-late-to-app-party.html
Thursday, December 29, 2011. Radio comes late to the app party. In my radio career I spent as much time learning about 'psychographics' as I did about 'demographics.'. Yes the ratings are based on the 'age' of the person listening to your radio station but I always believed you'd get more mileage (ie. expand the demo's). If you understood the lifestyle of the listeners. And God Bless Dave Grohl - I'd kill for his hair (or any hair for that matter.). Ths M generation is all about a) choice and more import...

http://radiowiseinc.blogspot.com/2015/07/random-thoughts-on-summer-sunday.html
Sunday, July 26, 2015. Random Thoughts on a summer Sunday afternoon. I've always loved Larry King. His 'it's my two cents' piece ran in USA TODAY for several years and now his Twitter account is where he distributes those 'random thoughts' that often are simply just great head scratching deep reaching comments. I don't pretend to be in his league but happy to 'borrow' his style. Result may be Hillary becomes the first US 'female' President. What's happened to driving skills? A real true friend. Whom I've...

Marty's Musings!: Random thoughts on a rainy day....
http://radiowiseinc.blogspot.com/2012/06/random-thoughts-on-rainy-day.html
Sunday, June 10, 2012. Random thoughts on a rainy day. To the Hospital teams who looked after us. Doctors are worth every penny they're paid while Nurses deserve an immense amount of respect for what they do for a living. Thanks to everybody who made this easy on us. Quick story - when you go through stressful times like what we've faced this past month HUMOUR plays a huge role and 'any' time you can laugh (although it hurts your stomach). Thanks for trying though Punk! Sharing is everything and that b).

Marty's Musings!: Thoughts on getting old(er)
http://radiowiseinc.blogspot.com/2012/03/thoughts-on-getting-older.html
Saturday, March 31, 2012. Thoughts on getting old(er). I'm at a point in my life when years seem like months - months seem like weeks - weeks seem like days - days seem like hours - and hours can often seem like seconds. Father time can often play cruel tricks on your mind when you think "that really happened 9 years ago.it seemed just like yesterday.". I do, however, seem to be having flashback memories to certain points in my life more often than usual lately. In age I now see 'beauty'. I see ' respect'.

Marty's Musings!: Sports radio battle begins!
http://radiowiseinc.blogspot.com/2011/01/sports-radio-battle-begins.html
Friday, January 21, 2011. Sports radio battle begins! Congratulations to Mike Richards, formerly of The Fan, Calgary's sports station owned by Rogers Communications, who is heading east for a great new gig. I worked with Mike in Toronto several years ago and the man has multiple talents. If you're a sports guy with chops in this country you'll get a phone call. If you're a sports personality, ie former player, with a dynamic personality you'll get a call. I mean who doesn't follow BizNasty on Twitter the...
