Drex Hired To Do Mornings In Calgary And Afternoon Drive On CFNY Here

His experience with Corus hasn't exactly been stellar - he once did a national overnight show for them before being turfed - but the host known as Drex is back with his old employer, and this time in two different cities. 

Corus has confirmed its former host will be back doing double duty, mornings on The Edge in Calgary and afternoon drive on the other Edge - CFNY - in Toronto. He was most recently on air here at Indie88 and doing a brief fill-in for Oakley when he went on vacation. 

The Drex Show joins the Edge lineup in Calgary, Toronto

I'm guessing that this means the only remaining live show on CFNY is the morning show.....  what a sad state of affairs. When is Corus going to give up and sell their stations? They're doing the public a disservice at this point.

Looked her up and she's also the music director...... I was doubtful it's live in addition to her other duties

Does anyone know if 107.5 Dave Rocks has a morning show yet? The only local show on there is Simon McGhee who does the afternoon show and the rest of the hosts are from London. Like Mark Lebel from 103.1 Fresh Radio and Taz and Jim from FM96. Also Matt Weaver is now at Pure Country 93. He used to do afternoons on Country 104. What’s going on Corus? Are they going to sell their stations soon? I hope so.

The MD stuff at that station wouldn't be very time consuming these days.

Thank you for that. Whoever maintains the Dave Rocks website needs to update it.
