Television’s favourite newsdesk duo — CTV Winnipeg’s Caroline Barghout and Leah Hextall — joined Andrea Collins Tuesday morning on CURVE 94.3. The ladies chatted about many topics, including what it’s like living together and pet peeves about being roommates. As we first reported, Caroline will be leaving the weekend anchor desk to move to reporting [...]

That’s not a dealership lot you’re looking at above, but the parking situation at the Winnipeg Folk Festival on Saturday. Hopefully no one forgot which aisle they were in. A brief spurt of rain in the afternoon didn’t bother the festival-goers at Birds Hill Park. They’re a hardy bunch of folks. No rain is forecast [...]

Waldo — Assiniboine Park Zoo’s beloved grizzly bear — passed away last week at the age of 36. His time at the zoo was spent being visited by thousands of people who came to see him annually. Waldo’s popularity is evident in the video we came across of his life at the zoo. Watch: Dr. [...]

Hot 103 thinks so. Listen: [Audio clip: view full post to listen] That is, of course, besides Jim Toth‘s hair … who somehow managed to created its own Twitter account.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day, everybody! To help you get into the spirit of this fine day, the Irish Association of Manitoba sent along some fun facts: Green Beer turns your urine green.

It’s rare to see a number of things in Winnipeg during March, but for the sake of narrowing things down, a bald eagle is at the center of attention in this post. A ChrisD.ca reader caught this eagle Sunday in Osborne Village. This might very well be the same eagle the Freep’s Bart Kives spotted [...]

KitsKam.com also features a blog, showcasing photos and time-lapse videos of the Vancouver skyline. Duncan Rawlinson manages the website and uses a Canon Rebel XT DSLR to shoot every 30 seconds, which automatically [...]

On January 12, Winnipeg was in 17th place for a spot on the new Monopoly board. We’re now in 22nd place! What?! Such towns as Medicine Hat and Sarnia are kicking our butt. Maybe it’s the fact you need to sign up for an account to vote, but getting represented on the game doesn’t seem [...]

Did Global TV and CBC wait for the storm to pass Monday before doing their stand ups? Lightweights. Who had the best storm coverage? It’s negligible, but CTV’s Jill Macyshon pulled a CNN and faced the elements head on. If it counts, Waub Rice picked up a shovel at one point, but we didn’t see him [...]

Posted by Brian Schultz The Weather Network has launched a campaign asking for input on what their new local forecast theme music should be.
