CBC Announces New Host Replacing Heather Hiscox

Heather Hiscox had her final morning show on CBC on the news network this morning. There has been much speculation who will be replacing Heather on the highly rated morning program.  David Common who hosts mornings on CBC radio takes over the TV program in February, his last day on CBC radio is January 12th/26.  More from CBC.ca....https://www.cbc.ca/news/entertainment/david-common-morning-live-9.6968932

I think this is a safe move for CBC, but now the search is on for a new host for Metro Morning, and maybe its time for a new name for the radio show too.

Yes, David Common is a safe choice but also a good one.  I don't listen to his show on Metro Morning that much,  but I do like that he injects humour in the program and his musical choices are somewhat more mainstream.  Common is a jack of all trades and seems to be good at whatever he takes on.  Interesting some of the clips featured yesterday by  personalities saying good bye to Heather including Lisa Laflamme. 

Here is Heather's good-bye that ran on the National last night, didn't know she had a rather unique nickname around CBC... https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/video/9.6970425

No one since Matt Galloway has stuck at Metro Morning for long, and is it 3 or 4 years since he left for The Current? Who are likely candidates to take over?

Re: CBC Announces New Host Replacing Heather Hiscox

Personally I’m a big fan of Sir Trevor MacDonald’s departure as anchor of the ITN News at Ten in the UK. A dignified, respectful farewell to the audience:
