This is one of the stupidest threads on here. Dave Marsden is older than Streek and he's back on the radio.....let's get rid of him!! Martin can be annoying but he does know his music and yes he is a good guy and DJ.

I'm guessing Cynthia is about 15 years old.

Obviously, age is nothing but a state of mind and a number!!!!

It is sad that anyone has even posted a word about this. People with so little time on their hands, need to sit here and gossip about stupid things like this. It's really sad. Do you even think that people who work at the Edge even read this? Or anyone who still has a job in radio for that matter. Outside of the god Marsden.

The person who runs this site should take it down. Writing badly about anyone this way is just not right. From the person who posted the petition, to the people who are cutting the two dj's down. This site is about the Spirit of Radio, not useless ways to invest your time.

Here's a petition, take this down, and listen to what you like. No one person's opinion here will change anything.

For a group of Adults, you should shake your heads. I have read better discussions on boards for Britney Spears fans.

WASTE OF TIME

Yeah, free speech sucks! If someone doesn't like something it should be censored. Wasteoftime is right!

Waste of Time:

1. You are not my or anyone else's mom here.

2. What are you doing reading posts on both this site and Britney Spears sites,(Don't you have something better to do)?

3. Your right, one person's opinion doesn't change anything because your opinion sure hasn't.

4. Marsden is "a" god, not "the" god.

5. Britney is hot.

MY TIME IS MY TIME.

Actually, I think it's appropriate to clarify some facts.
Martin Streek is not or ever was a DJ.
He is an announcer.
Martin just invests a lot of energy to create the false perception that he's something he's not.
The man who was the brains and work on the Live-To-Air weekend was DjDwight whose role was Dj/Programmer/Producer Edge Live-To-Air.
This guy had the shows humming on a level nobody thought would happen again since Shep.
Ever since DjDwight quit last year the shows sucked!
So much so that Joe Nightclub cancelled the Retro Live-To-Air because the product became so poor.
If there should be a petition, it should be to bring Dwight back.

First of all, I don't think Martin has ever tried to give anyone the impression that he's the DJ at anyone of the clubs he MCs at. Second of all.. DJ Dwight quit? Not quite. He got fired for trying to screw Martin out of his job while he was on vacation (I guess being the dj wasn't enough control for him). DJ Craig G is doing a swell job anyways. Lastly, I think the reason that Joe no longer does a live to air with the edge is because they keep adding more and more 90s music as the years go by... which I don't think went over well with the crowd...

Curious as to \"Shut Up Martin\"'s relation to Dwight.

Better question

Isn't it a little weird for a guy in his mid-40s hosting club gigs for people literally half his age in their late teens early twenties?

What about Berns? He's older than Martin, and up until he retired "Dr. Trance" last year, was still one of the hottest club DJ's in the city.

Age means nothing except experience. If you keep up with the music, you can do it as long as people will continue to pay to hear you. And if you're good, people are going to continue to pay to hear you.

Interesting quote above....however it is 100 percent wrong which doesn't suprise anyone.

Facts:

Currently, Martin is an announcer.

Martin was orginally a dj before he was announcer.

The retro live to air has gone through many djs over the last 10 years, all of them play the same music. I know I will here Soft Cell, and the Boomtown Rats, and Home for a Rest by SOTW every weekend.

If anyone should be brought back it should be DJ Dingra and Ivan.

DJ Dwight is NO SHEP. That's like saying my Hyundai is a BMW.

FACTS.

Post by djdwight »

I'm glad that a friend of mine directed me to this chat forum.

On this forum, someone had posted some grossly slanderous and defamatory comments regarding my tenure and departure from 102.1 The Edge and you're being provided with the facts from the source.

1. I, DJDWIGHT, DID QUIT UNDER MY OWN TERMS AND CONDITIONS WITH A GLEAMING LETTER OF REFERENCE FROM ALAN CROSS AND CORUS ENTERTAINMENT.

2. LEGAL ACTION AND LITIGATION WAS PURSUED AND DEALT WITH SWIFTLY WITH REGARDS TO THE SLANDEROUS AND DEFAMATORY COMMENTS THAT MARTIN STREEK PERPETUATED WITH REGARDS TO OUR WORKING RELATIONSHIP AND MY TENURE. THAT THIS INDIVIDUAL HAS POSTED OTHERWISE SINCE THE DATE OF SETTLEMENT IN AUGUST/05 HAS JEOPARDIZED AND COMPROMISED THE CONDITIONS OF THE SETTLEMENT THAT CLEARLY STATE \"NO PARTIES INVOLVED WITH, OR EMPLOYED BY, CORUS ENTERTAINMENT WILL ENGAGE IN ANY SLANDEROUS/DEFAMATORY/DAMAGING COMMENTS WITH REGARDS TO D.J.DWIGHT'S/DWIGHT HENNINGS EMPLOYMENT HISTORY AND STATUS.\"
FOR ANY FURTHER INFORMATION, CONTACT MY LAWYER, DAVID HARRIS L.L.B.

3. IT WAS, AND STILL IS, GREATLY DISAPPOINTING FOR ME TO CONTINUE TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH CERTAIN INDIVIDUAL'S LACK OF PROFESSIONALISM AND MATURITY. THOSE WHO WHICH TO PERPETUATE THESE LIES AND MISPERCEPTIONS WILL ALSO BE SUBJECT TO LEGAL ACTION.

4. THAT INDIVIDUALS CONTINUE TO POST SLANDEROUS/DEFAMATORY COMMENTS PROVIDE STRONG EVIDENCE THAT INDIVIDUALS INVOLVED CONTINUE TO BEHAVE IN BREACH OF THE CONDITIONS OF SETTLEMENT REACHED AUGUST'05 AND THAT I WILL BE PURSUING LEGAL ACTION AGAINST THESE PARTIES WITHOUT PREJUDICE.

5. I WOULD ADVISE ALL WHO HAVE KNOWN ME, MY WORK, AND MY RELATIONSHIPS TO NOT SPEAK OUT OF FACT OR KNOW OR YOU WILL ALSO BE SUBJECT TO LEGAL ACTION.

6. I THANK ALL OF YOU WHO HAVE SUPPORTED ME PROFESSIONALLY AND PERSONALLY THROUGHOUT MY 6 YEAR TENURE WITH THE EDGE AND CONTINUE TO SUPPORT ME.

7. I UNDERSTAND ALL TOO WELL FROM BEING A MAJOR PLAYER IN THIS INDUSTRY FOR A LONG TIME AND KNOW THAT PEOPLE LIKE TO GOSSIP AND THAT'S FINE. HOWEVER, THERE IS A FINE LINE FROM GOSSIP TO MALICE. IF YOU DON'T KNOW THE TRUTH THEN KEEP YOU MOUTH SHUT!!!
IF THIS PROVES TO BE TOO DIFFICULT, AS IN THE CASE WITH THE INDIVIDUAL WHO POSTED COMMENTS AS PART OF THIS BOARD, I WILL BE CONTACTING THE ADMINISTRATOR OF THIS SITE AND PURSUING THE APPROPRIATE LEGAL ACTION. I ASSURE YOU THIS IS NOT AN EMPTY STATEMENT.


If you would wish to reach me, you can do so at:

Thanks to whomever was generous to put me in the same breath as Shep.
I've never tried to be him nor ever wanted to be but was a great influence on my ear and sound shaping me into the DJ i've become.

I, too, am also curious as to who the individual is that had posted the strong support of me.
It's nice to know that there are people in this world who champion honesty and integrity over PERCEPTION AND LIES.
Keep it up.
The world needs more people like you.

Response...

To feetpowderNY quote,

\"Interesting quote above....however it is 100 percent wrong which doesn't suprise anyone.\"

I cannot comment on the postings opinons but appreciate their support and neither should you.
No one has any right to tell another that their opinion is \"100 percent wrong\"
What is \"100 percent wrong\" is to speak out of ignorance or personal involvement/participation with the facts and individuals involved.


What I can comment on is the FACTS within the posting...

- I was, by title, the DJ/PROGRAMMER/PRODUCER for the 102.1 Edge Live-To-Air Weekend for 6 years.
- Contact my lawyer David Harris L.L.B. or Alan Cross (Edge Program Dir.) and you will be provided with the truth and facts of my employment, tenure, and departure.

Thank you.

ADMINISTRATOR:

Please delete this whole crappy thread. The vast majority of Spirit fans do NOT care about what anyone thinks or says about Streak and DJ Dwight or what they say about each other or why someone left a job, and who has the biggest lawyer. It all has NOTHING to do with the \"Spirit\" of Radio, or music or history. Please toss this thread. Cheers!
