CFRB's Morning Shows Will Have No Regular Hosts For Next 2 Weeks

With John Moore continuing his one month sabbatical, replaced by John Tory, and Jerry Agar announcing he's also off for two weeks after Friday, it occurs to me we have something that happens only in the silly summer season: the entire morning run from 6 AM -12 PM on the station will have alternate hosts. 

Not sure yet who's taking Agar's place until early August, but none of the regular line-up will be in. That doesn't happen often.

Won't miss Agar, regardless of fill-in.  With 'Dr. BS' virtually unlistenable on 640, I tune in Agar, but only until he starts blathering about his time in the U.S., or promoting his Saturday show with his Texas restaurant owning kid.  Haven't made it through an hour yet.  More and more these days, CKTB gets the nod.

Agar revealed in his sign off that Mark Twohey and Amanda Galbraith will be taking his place while he's gone.

Well at least they won't replace hosts with infomercials.
But hopefully the fill in hosts will not spend an inordinate amount of time talking about financial and economic stories out the wazoo.
Lately I can't listen to more than a couple of minutes of some university economics or finance expert droning on and on.

Two good fill-ins, I still think Mark Towhey should have his own show!

I will say again, somebody should hire Kevin Vuong and Eric Kam to cohost a show on the weeks top stories. They are so much better than playing second fiddle to Brad Smith's standup routine.
