She'd be a good pick because circumstance at Q/Corus pretty much guarantees that the host needs to be a woman and an internal hire. But, no.

Didn't Tucker at one point work for FM96? He would be familiar to a degree of the format. Also if they did move to Q107 then would the Fresh London morning show do energy's morning show also?

Hmmm, it all makes sense now...  Maura will be joining Q107 for Maura, John and Ryan in the morning.  I wonder who will replace her as Tucker's co-host?

So if Tucker and Maura are "splitting" and Maura goes to Q my guess is she takes middays and Joanne Wilder goes to mornings. Then on Energy I could see Jeunesse when she comes back from maternity leave go to mornings. Or she takes her drive show back and Carla I think her name is moves to mornings

Tucker and Maura will still be working together.

So 4 people for the new Q107 morning show?  Tucker, Maura, John and Ryan?  That's a pretty tall headcount even for a morning show in this day and age.

Or perhaps, Q107 will syndicate Tucker & Maura for mornings and their Energy 95.3 show would be moved to afternoon drive, same as what they are doing with Fresh 103.1 in London.

There it is.

I guess the big question now is what happens with mornings at Energy 95.3

No way... Scott & Kat?!?  That is some big switcheroo!  Will they do both Energy and the Beat at the same time, or is something else changing in Kitchener as well?

I have to assume they stay (on) in Kitchener.

Lot of changes involving morning shows like: Adam Wylde moved to London to do the morning show at Pure Country 93 after Dave and Rachel departed in June of 2022. Rick Campanelli left Z103.5 and now we got changes at the Corus radio stations in Toronto and Hamilton. I wonder how this will improve the ratings for Energy 95.3, 102.1 The Edge, Q107 and Z103.5.

It is actually TJ Conners that left the Virgin morning show to go to Pure Country in London

Actually, TJ Conners is on HTZ FM Niagara (ahem, from Winnipeg). TJ O'Halloran is the one on Pure Country.

Sorry my mistake I was tool busy reading that Toronto mike said that Adam Wylde's mom is Marilyn Denis. Which I did not know.

As for 95.3, how about a morning show on the Hamilton station, from Hamilton! Not one host on the station is in Hamilton.
 

Afternoons are.

Well I don't know. But you seem to up the all the changes, so I'll take your word for it.

It's a terrible market. Out-of-market tuning makes national ad dollars really small relative to the city's size.

Maura and Tucker - one show (according to Toronto Mike):

Ryan and Garbutt (and maybe a third, if you follow some socials) - another show:

I listened to the excerpt with Humble talking to Maureen and Jacqui about the behaviour of the two sidekicks during and after Derringer's time doing mornings and don't think it could have been easy to find anyone to take over the morning show. After hearing Maureen Holloway's words I hope like hell whoever takes over the show has their own lawyer go over the offered contract.

"What if it was your wife." indeed.

The B Team are still on the 102.1 Edge website as the morning show. My radio listening tomorrow morning may be interesting. Tucker & Maura announced Friday that it was their last show and anyone listening to them should be able to still listen to them at the station they are moving to. However, they could not say what station that would be. That announcement is to come this week.

And the official answer to the subject question is...

Corus Radio’s Q107, 102.1 the Edge, Energy 95.3 introduce new morning shows

Sooooo...Scott and Kat are just a repeater of the Kitchener station on 95.3 now?
