It was called The Shift and the shift appears to be over. Shane Hewitt, who hosted one of the few live all night shows in Canadian radio, has been let go, informing listeners on social media that his show has been cancelled as of Wednesday.

What will replace this program on the Corus talk stations? The same thing as competitor Bell - endless rerolls of "previously enjoyed shows."

Hewitt addressed the news on his Facebook page, noting he wasn't expecting it, but thanking those he worked with - and those who listened. 

“For the next few days you’re going to hear some of our ‘best ofs’ on the air and next week there will be a new series of re-runs and playdowns, I’m told, that will take this time slot. There will not be a replacement host. There is no show to back this up as far as I’ve been told,” said Hewitt. “The Shift comes to a close. I’m sad by this news.”

Sounds like he want from The Shift to the shaft.
