By the way, you gotta love those Evanov proofreading people. Check out this from their official press release:

"She is the recipient of the (insert name, country or year or organization) Voice Tracker of the Year Award."

Seems like they forgot to insert anything.

Melanie Martin co-hosted the morning show...on Z103.5 back in 2001-2003-ish with Scott Fox and Dave Blezard.  Melanie left for all new station Flow 93.5 and eventually Scott and Dave were fired.  Dave went to Kiss 92.5 and Scott was out in Kitchener.   The station must have received many nasty emails about the firing (I sent one) that Scott returned and co-hosted with Kat Callahan.

Scott, Mel and Dave were the best Morning show ensemble they ever had.

I listened to 103.5 and nothing else for many years (1995-2022) Morning shows on this station average 1.5 to 2 years.

I'm glad they've had much more success the past few years. With a better signal and a marketing budget they could be consistently Top 5.

Not to forget they tried. The CRTC put the kibosh on their trying to be a "Toronto" station back in 2017 and insisted they concentrate on their area of licence in Orangeville. So while they may have some GTA listeners, the Commission left them with no choice but to remain a true local, slicing off a potentially lucrative part of what could have been their market.

And their ratings are the best they're been since they were the only station apporoximating CHR in the market.

All those big downtown condos blocking their signal...well....you'd be lucky to find a single radio in most of them.

Instead of them bringing their signal to the city, the meters moved to their coverage area on the perimeter.

Why were they fired?       Must have been awkward as Scott Fox’s dad works down the dial at the other Evanov central Ontario station 88.5 in Newmarket.   His name, Gary Gamble.
