Lot's of changes at 2 Roger's stations in the GTA.CHFI's Osborne gone

Darren Osborne is no longer at CHFI a new replacement for Rick Campanelli (Greg Burns) is the new host at 4-7 pm...other staffers are still at CHFI, although the schedule has been altered.

Burns formerly at KISS and now up the dial at FI' has caused some re-calibrating the line-up at both stations.

Here is more.

Darren left on his own accord.

I thought he drove a Civic. 🤔

Not what I heard at all from someone who worked with Darren. Darren was put on notice and given an end date.

This makes Michelle Butterly the last long standing on air talent at CHFI……

Definitely not Darren's decision based on the timing of the other exits at Rogers

I still am in shock that, Dazzling Don and Erin, Sandy Hoyt, Brian Masters have all left...WTW???  (What the what).

One thing is for sure, CHFI has stayed true to the changing cultural mosaic in Toronto, by who they have as hosts. 

In the days of the hosts I mention at the top, Toronto was not as diverse and it was white and yuppy then too!

Change is good, until it's not.
