ALL WHALE, ALL THE TIME The first all-whale radio station tomorrow will begin broadcasting from Vancouver Island, British Columbia. CJKW-FM 88.5 will broadcast live sounds of killer whales as they communicate within their pods off the northeastern part of the island, a famous whale-watching spot. The station is expected to draw an "eager" audience from the area's 7,000 kayakers and 50,000 boat tourists (AP/Portland Oregonian online, 7/16).

As advertisers cry out for more diverse programming they'll slip in a dolphin here...a porpoise there. Before you know it the programming becomes just another cacophany of sea mammals. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************
