John Michaels on the CKOV talk show October 2, 2006 said "I couldn't care less about global warming. As long as I can continue to wear shorts [as late in the season as possible], I'll be happy."

What a callous and irresponsible statement for someone in the media to make!
I suppose he doesn't care about the millions who will become refugees as low-lying areas are flooded, food scarcities as agricultural land is no longer viable, extinction of species, and all the other consequences of global warming.
Yes, as long as JM is okay, nothing else matters.

It was announced that CKOV will soon be moving to the FM band and along with that move it will also be changing its format. One element of its format that will remain will be the morning talk show.
CKOV should give serious consideration to replacing John Michaels, the current host of the talk show, with a host that is even-minded and fair on political topics unlike John Michaels who continually pushes his right wing agenda. I think that listeners are also getting tired of Michaels' rudeness as he hangs up on callers and then belittles them after they are off the air. CKOV would do better with a host that shows people some common courtesy.

As an alternative to John Michaels' rudeness, listeners should check out Andy and T.J., a pleasant duo who play good music on 101.5 Silk FM.

Recently on his morning talk show John Michaels said "Who cares?" in response to an e-mail sent him by Rick Shea where Rick outlined the reasons why he is leaving Kelowna. Well, the Daily Courier, a much more reputable source of news and information than Michaels will ever be, cares, thats who! Today the Courier published the entirety of Rick's release as a letter to the editor under the title "City stuck in spiral of greed."
With his stupid utterances Michaels is making himself increasingly irrelevant in Kelowna as he continually provides fresh support for the ancient adage "there's no fool like an old fool."

I was actually urged to write that letter by several people.
Although it expressed my personal opinions, I have heard those same opinions expressed by many, many people who have left, are in the process of leaving, or wish to leave. These are people who helped to build this community, and who have also donated hundreds (thousands in total) of hours of volunteer time to this community.
Michaels simply reinforced one of the reasons why these people are leaving.
The "Who cares?" attitude is so typical of Kelowna nowadays, and is just another facet of the greed that has conquered this poor city.

Well, it's official that CKOV has moved to the FM dial and has scrubbed its all news format opting instead for playing country music. CKOV programming director Bob Mills stated that CKOV has been losing money for years, and it's no wonder with caustic staff like John Michaels alienating listeners with his arrogant, opinionated style. CKOV has announced that Michaels will be playing country music on the new CKOV, hopefully with Michaels' mouth being shut most of the time. Oldies 1150 will assume the all-news format. This will be a welcome switch as Phil Johnson has always demonstrated more civility and sense than John Michaels was ever capable of.
