When Matt Gurney visited Toronto Mike earlier this month, he talked about a new show that would take the place of the now departed Coast-to-Coast AM. And now we know what it is - "The Shift With Drex" will originate from CKNW in Vancouver and air on AM 640 (and CHML) from 1 -5 AM as a national program that will follow Charles Adler. 

Drex aka Justin Wilcomes is well known out west but is a definite newcomer here. He's an Australian who made his home in Canada several years ago, after getting his start in radio Down Under. That in itself will add a new kind of voice to the airwaves. 

I have no idea if it will be a good show or not, but I have to give Corus credit for one thing - despite less than wonderful ratings for their Toronto talk station, they now have a Monday-Friday line-up that is all Canadian and all original, without any rerolls. Not even CFRB can make that statement. 

The new show debuts Jan. 22.
