Summer's Not Here Yet But The Vacation Merry-Go-Round Has Started

First, John Moore was gone for over a week. 

Then John Oakley took two weeks off, making way for sub Brad Smith.

Next, Jerry Agar is off CFRB next week. Not sure yet who's subbing for him. 

Alex Pierson isn't working on AM 640 Monday and Tuesday, but will return on Wednesday. Producer Mike Drolet is taking her place.

It appears the annual summer vacation merry-go-round is underway earlier than ever this year. You can't tell the players without a program. But if they all take off, none of them will be doing their program!

Why don't they just add a seasoned part timer to the staff?  That person would be competent and engaging enough to stand in for any show/shift.  Then everyone else can stay on their own shows, which would ease confusion.


Cheers,

I hope you're volunteering Jody. We miss your voice on the radio!

It's gotten to the point that I don't really care who hosts what.  While working, I just listen to whoever is on, with the exception of John Tory, who is beneath contempt.
