Does anyone know what the deal with Marty Gold & KICK-FM is? I know all the facts, aside from the fact that his program was cancelled, haven't exaclty come out. Most of what I could find about the controversy were either written by Marty Gold or his supporters.
Additionally, most of what I've found is quite polemical & doesn't exactly provide a concise summary of the case (sounding, at times, almost conspiratorial - with insinuations of "power players" like "Margo Godhand" or "Greg Selinger" somehow being involved). Maybe if I listened to Marty's podcasts (which I don't), I'd have a more organized understanding of (his side of) the case.
Btw, does anyone know what Marty's show was like? I got the sense (from blog posts of his I read) that it was anti-establishment, perhaps rightwing populist, and somewhat sensationalist (particularly given all the complaints about the "bike lobby" of his I've seen).
According to Winnipeg's rightwing tabloid, Gold is sueing Red River College btw.
