Favourite FM announcers

Figured I'd start a positive thread. Who are your Top 5 for best/favourite current announcers on Toronto music radio? In a world of VTs and liners, there's still some standout talent.

My list:

1. Fearless Fred - Q107
2. Daryn Jones - KiSS 92.5
3. Melani Mariani - Indie 88
4. Paul Harper - Today 93.5
5. Robbie Lane - Zoomer

Re: Favourite FM announcers

I listen to music radio more in K/W/Guelph, Hamilton and a little London.  Toronto announcers I like would be-

Maie Pauts- BOOM
Myles Galloway- Virgin
Taylor Kaye-CHUM
Paul Harper- Today
Ritchie Favalaro- CHUM

Did the declared topic not specify FM "announcers"?     Except for Zoomer's FM simulcast, it is my understanding that the individual you list at #5 is an AM-radio personality.

P.S. is Robbie Lane an "announcer" or a "radio personality"?     The latter term would be considered by some as a better description

Back in the 60's/70's, CHUM had disc jockeys. CFRB had radio personalities.

I was using it as shorthand for music radio. I listen to it on 96.3-2
