CALGARY – Global News Radio’s new series Mayor’s Day has expanded to a second station, 770 CHQR in Calgary.
The monthly series, which debuted last month on Vancouver’s 980 CKNW, will see mayors from across the Calgary region join 770 CHQR’s talk programs to co-host for one hour each, discussing the top concerns of their constituents.
The updated schedule for the station’s inaugural Mayors Day on May 29 will run as follows:
– 9:30 AM to 10:30 AM – Bill Robertson, Mayor of Okotoks, co-hosts Danielle Smith;
– 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM – Peter Brown, Mayor of Airdrie, co-hosts Afternoons with Rob Breakenridge; and
– 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM – Jeff Genung, Mayor of Cochrane, co-hosts Calgary Today with Angela Kokott.
Highlights and excerpts from Mayors Day will also air on Global Calgary’s News Hour at 6, and will be available to listen on-demand at globalnews.ca
“Global News Radio is proud to actively serve the communities in which we live and work,” said Kenton Boston, Corus’ VP news and information for Western Canada, in the news release. “Our Mayors Day series is the only one of its kind, providing our audiences with the answers they need on important municipal issues.”
