Moving to Music
Moving From CKNW
Stirling mentioned on Sunday’s show that he is leaving radio & getting into the music business??
On further investigation, our old friend Stirling will be taking up PM Drive on Vancouver’s newest radio station, The WAVE
The WAVE needs to get Bob Saye for afternoon drive news.
He could do it remotely from Ontario.
Not convinced NW and the talk format was a good fit for him. Like most of their fill in hosts, basic skills are missing. Easiest way to tell is they ‘try too hard.’ The great hosts are well informed, can peel back the layers of the onion, are not afraid to confront or call out authority figures and have an opinion! The lazy hosts ask ‘what do you think?’ That’s hardly entertaining. In any event, we wish Mr. Faux good luck in the new gig.
An excellent comment, Theresa. As a talk show host, Mr. Faux lacked gravitas.
Loved the man as a talk show guy. Not much as a DJ. However, he seems to be the bulwark against Big Radio.
Congrats to a great broadcaster and an even greater human!
He always came across too ‘happy go lucky’ or sing-songy as a talker. Great jock though. Good move.
A real radio survivor. Style a little too contrived for me.
The interesting question is, who will be replacing Stirling Faux on the two weekend morning broadcasts on CKNW? There is a dearth of talent at the station at the moment. And by the way, who is the news director at the station now that Gord MacDonald has been long gone?
Steve! 100 percent agree and a great word in dearth! Jordan Armstrong could do it.
Does anyone still listen to CKNWoke?
I stopped listening when commercials continued playing into the period reserved for newscasts.
