Tom Power takes over for Shad on Q
I haven't listened to Q for a couple of months. I feel this is coming as a shocker to most.
From Shad:Well, my time at q has come to a close.It's been an honour and a JOY to serve in this role! Countless fascinating guests and don't even get me started on my colleagues: Smart, funny, and dedicated is just the beginning. The show will continue and in great hands with Tom Power - an excellent host and a great guy. My relationship with the CBC remains strong. We're discussing the possibility of developing a new show together. In the meantime and either way, I'm looking forward to having more time to put into music and I'm grateful for an amazing experience.Thanks for your love and support on this adventure!

I'm getting far too old to keep track of this stuff. I thought you meant 107 and couldn't figure out what you were talking about

Re: Tom Power takes over for Shad on Q
Yeah. Always wondered how CBC got away with using that name. Wonder if that's why the branding for the show is with a lower case `q'.
Which I should've used for this thread.

Re: Tom Power takes over for Shad on Q
Do you know why it's called Q?
Alan Slaight didn't believe that a rock format would survive, and the agreement was, when the rock thing crumbled, he wanted to have an easy listening station. CILQ-FM would have been called Silk-FM.
I heard that from someone who would know, believe me, but I've never heard it elsewhere.

Purely for the sake of accuracy, it's Allan Slaight (two 'l's' in Allan).
