He's been on the air since just after the failed Howard Stern experiment. Since then, John Derringer has become the morning voice of choice for many rock fans. And now, as he approaches a remarkable milestone in a shrinking industry - more than 20 years in the same market at the same station - he prepares to mark the moment on air.
As John Derringer celebrates his 5,000th show on Q107, let’s appreciate the DJ who’s been rocking Toronto for nearly 30 years

Nice to see how healthy and fit John looks 30 years later. Congratulations on this milestone at Q107!

It's funny. I remember a time when he (John) originally wanted mornings and Q 107 said NO, so he wandered off to another station owned by another company to do mornings there.
I guess that's when Q 107 said... "OH..." and took note, realizing their mistake.

In his daily podcast, Derringer and his crew reflect on the changes in radio over his decades on the air - and why he can't say the things he used to in today's modern era.
