TORONTO – Astral Radio says it is with a “lot of pride and a little apprehension” that it announces the return of "Humble" Howard Glassman and Fred Patterson.
Debuting January 21st, the Humble & Fred Radio Show will air weekday evenings on Funny 820 Hamilton, Funny 1410 in London, Ontario and News Talk 1010 CFRB Toronto. In addition, new stations will be added to the syndication list over the next year. The duo is set to entertain their audience with a combination of highlights from their popular podcast and new exclusive content says Astral.
"It's with great trepidation that we are partnering with Humble & Fred", said Rob Farina, EVP Content & Platforms for Astral Radio, "we hope for the best, but expect Humble & Fred to bring nothing but heart ache and lawsuits."
Glassman and Patterson are best known for their long-running morning show on Toronto radio station 102.1 The Edge, where they debuted in 1989. The pair has worked separately for the past several years, but reunited last year to create daily podcasts that are available on iTunes and on HumbleAndFredRadio.com.
"We're thrilled to be part of the evolution of Comedy on Astral," shared Humble & Fred, "we look forward to the opportunity to be fired by them again!"
Astral says the addition of Humble & Fred, along with the variety of Canadian comedians being featured across Astral's comedy radio stations, demonstrates its commitment to the format and support of “Canada's legendary role in the world of stand-up comedy.” Astral Radio notes it was the first broadcaster in Canada to offer consumers a 24/7 comedy service.
