And by sheer coincidence, I was just thinking about him the other day and wondering what, if anything, he's doing now. Anyone know?
I'd like to know too. Stafford is the reason I started listening to AM radio.
I hope he's doing well.
...just a fan.

Do duets with the original recording artist count?

At face value, this is a terrible reason for anyone to quit their job. I'm surprised Corus didn't take action against the commenters, or at least publicly address this together with SD.
I wasn't a big fan of hers in this particular role, but GNR640 is obviously trying to get a younger demographic and I respect her taking on this challenge.
If GNR640 insist on a Male-Female team to host the morning, Stafford with Tina T were pretty funny together (in my opinion).

I don't think Mike is gone, 640 morning and afternoon drive shows are better then what's on 1010, so I don't think they will risk any major changes. If Mike typed something on Twitter or another site he may be told to focus his energy on his radio show and to stay away from the rest.
I hope you're right, but based on the screen grab in the tweet below, it may make things weird with his co-host.
I hope they'll give him the opportunity to address this on the air and offer a public apology.

I can't say definitively that the suspicions expressed here aren't true, but the two examples above don't seem to provide any evidence that he's been let go. I hope not. The guy's very talented and the week before he changed time slots, he revealed that he's been dreaming of doing a successful morning gig for a long time. Those assignments are not easy to come by, especially in T.O.
I heard one of his pre-recorded ads for Jiffy this morning. However, the normal "Shurman in for Stafford" was replaced with "Shurman in for the morning crew". He made a couple of mentions that Staff might be back tomorrow "depending on his disposition"
I certainly hope he's not going anywhere. I've been a fan since the Mojo Days. One particular topic that stuck to my juvinile mind during the drive home was a call-in segment where male and female listeners were asked to call in with their favourite euphemisms for self-pleasure. ("Slaying the Beast" comes to mind). After a crappy day at work, I laughed all the way home!
Fast n' Furious Fridays were great, along with the Happy Endings!
Although that's gone, I'm happy for him to get the morning gig in whatever form it's in.
I don't know the radio business very well. I'm just a casual fan.
If this really is due to some unfortunate tweets, I'm thinking this might be some sort of short adminstrative leave or suspension "pending an investigation" or some other HR BS. Social Media can be a job killer nowadays.
