Scott Tucker and Maura Grierson will move from Hot AC “Energy 95.3 (https://energy953radio.ca)” CING-FM Hamilton to Alternative “102.1 The Edge (https://edge.ca)” CFNY-FM Toronto. The duo previously hosted mornings in Toronto at CHR “99.9 Virgin Radio (https://www.iheartradio.ca/virginradio/toronto)” CKFM from 2014 to 2018. Tucker has also worked in Regina, Montreal and London, while Grierson spent fifteen years at CKFM preceded by two stations in Montreal.
Tucker & Maura will succeed “The B Team” of Shawna Whelan and Chris Ziemniak. The duo joined CFNY in February 2020 from co-owned Rock “Y108 (https://y108.ca)” CJXY-FM Burlington/Hamilton and were previously paired with Jay Brody from 2018 until last June at both stations.
Whelan will be moving over to sister Rock “Q107 (https://q107.com)” CILQ-FM to host mornings with John Garbutt and Ryan Parker. CILQ-FM has been running jockless in mornings since the May suspension (https://radioinsight.com/headlines/226679/toronto-morning-host-john-derringers-show-placed-on-hiatus-pending-external-investigation-into-gender-discrimination-allegations/) and subsequent firing of previous host John Derringer after multiple former co-workers alleged gender discrimination against him. Garbutt and Parker were previous members of Derringer’s show.
Back at CING-FM, the station is now airing the “Scott & Kat” show based on co-owned “91.5 The Beat (https://915thebeat.com)” CKBT-FM Kitchener hosted by Scott Fox and Kat Callaghan. Callaghan is also known as the female text-to-speech voice (https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/kitchener-waterloo/tiktok-kat-callaghan-voice-1.6698948) on TikTok.
