Doesn’t hurt to ring up ZoomerMedia and ask.   Maybe they’re thinking he doesn’t fit in but if listeners call asking for him then they’ll know he has some fans and maybe will consider keeping him on (if they were thinking of getting rid of him)

Liz West was on today. 

On his Twitter feed ( https://twitter.com/evancartercmedy?lang=en ) he's around and retweeting like "normal" (including yesterday) - so no clue there on his next steps or some statement. The website he lists in his Twitter profile (evancarter.com) appears down.

I emailed Zoomer Media about this but have not heard back.

 
I heard back from Zoomer Media yesterday- “I’m sorry to say that he is no longer here” was their reply.
At least they got back to me!

That phrase "no longer there" really resonates with me. A few decades ago, I was between jobs after the station I was at suddenly changed format and jettisoned most of the staff. (I can hear every broadcaster saying "been there, done that!")

So I started putting out feelers to various stations across the province looking for a new gig. One of the calls I made was to CJBK in London, where I talked to the guy in charge of hiring. It was one of those rare moments - this guy had heard of me, told me he knew of my work and really liked it and thought there was an opening I'd fit perfectly. It sounded too good to be true and I thought I was in!

He said, "Look call me next week, and you can come down to London and we'll talk about it."  Great! I had it in the bag. 

Next week came and I phoned the station and asked for the guy. "I'm sorry," the receptionist told me, "he's no longer with the station." My heart sank. "But he told me he was going to hire me." And when she connected me with the guy who took his place, I was told "we're not hiring now," and got the old meaningless, "but we'll keep your resume on file."

I never did work there, but it worked out for the best after I found a long-term position in Toronto and never needed to leave the city. But I'll always recall the first time I heard, "he's no longer with us," and how it changed that guy's life - and mine!

I agree with you djwildbill. It sounded like he and Eva D got along on-air plus he had a decent sense of humour. The last show l listened to Evan told an amusing tale about trying to buy jeans, and I could relate! I wish him the best as well.
