Velvet Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 The lead story on the 3pm CBC news was Northern Wish describing his drive from Sarnia to Ottawa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hartamophone Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 I'm assuming there was some sort of weather-related reason that made this newsworthy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Wish Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 Here is the weird thing.....I was driving near Belleville and the weather was getting way worse by the second and traffic was really slowing down. After a few kms of 20 kph, I decided to pull off and have a relaxing long lunch.They tweeted about the weather/ traffic- I replied and thought little of it as I usually do with twitter. About an hour later my phone rings in the car (bluetooth) and it is the CBC news room asking if I would be willing to give a few sound bites because they had nothing to run until their man on the ground could get to the airport, which was taking him far longer than they anticipated.What I want to know is how did they get my unpublished, work, cell phone #?Also funny is the first question I answered was about cars going off the road, and my answer involved a comparison to Phish at Coventry. At the end the guy asked me the question a second time and added- my listeners won't know about that Phish concert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
