Does Anyone Know Where This Former Toronto Radio Personality Worked?

Toronto Life has a very long and very personal story by a guy named D.G. Marshall. He says he was on radio in this market for many years, before giving it up and turning away from the industry for a simpler life. I can't say I recognize the name, but he says he was on the air here for 16 years on an AM station "in the GTA."

Perhaps I don't know him because the nature of his show - whatever it was - wouldn't have been something on my radar.

"In 2003, I launched a talk show on an AM station in the GTA. I would ask people about their religious beliefs and the role faith played in their lives. I interviewed not just rabbis and nuns but also witches, Wiccans and Satanist high priests. Some listeners boycotted the show, but others couldn’t get enough."

He never mentions the station but if he was on for 16 years, I'm assuming someone here knows where he worked.

You can read his story about how shutting off the mic saved his sanity and his life here.

And I think I may have the answer. According to a Wikipedia page I just found, a "Drew Marshall" did a spiritual-based talk show on CJYE, the religious formatted station at 1250 AM in Oakville, an outlet I never listen to, which explains why I've never heard of him. But I will say the list of guests he had on his old show is pretty impressive.
