TORONTO – The Shopping Channel personality Richard Nester will retire from his hosting duties on December 16 after 21 years at the Rogers-owned station.
A Niagara, ON native, Nester (pictured) joined the company in 1995, and is known for his charismatic quick-wit and infectious energy while introducing customers to the latest and greatest TSC products.
While host Sean Keane will take over Nester’s hours on TSC, Nester said that he will remain with the company on a yet unnamed new project.
“Having only joined TSC in August, my time with Richard has unfortunately been brief, but the impact he has made on the company, his coworkers, and our loyal customers is undeniable,” said TSC president Anne Martin-Vachon, in Monday’s announcement. “His energy and optimism will be sorely missed in these halls, but on behalf of the whole TSC family, we wish him a wonderful retirement and look forward to continuing to work with him in an exciting new capacity.”
