TORONTO and HAMILTON — Two of Corus Entertainment’s radio stations launched new morning shows on Monday.
Toronto’s alternative station 102.1 The Edge (CFNY-FM) debuted The B Team show, featuring Shawna, Chris Z and Jay Brody, former morning show hosts at sister rock station Y108 in Hamilton. The B Team airs weekdays from 5:30 to 10 a.m. on the Edge.
To fill the morning void at Hamilton’s Y108 (CJXY-FM), the Taz & Jim show made its debut on the station this morning. Taz and Jim Kelly have ranked as the number one morning team in the London, Ont., market for nearly a decade. In addition to airing live on Y108, Taz & Jim will continue to be live on FM96 in London on weekdays from 5:30 to 9:30 a.m., with local traffic, news and updates provided for both Hamilton and London.
“We’re really excited to bring edge back to the Edge with one of the country’s most bold morning shows in The B Team,” said Tammy Cole, Corus Radio’s Toronto/Hamilton regional program director, in the news release. “To deliver that, as well as expand Taz & Jim — who as a duo have dominated in a major Ontario market for almost a decade — to Hamilton in their place is great news for listeners on both the Edge and Y.”
Shawna, Chris Z and Jay Brody first teamed up to host the Y108 morning show in 2018, delivering their unique brand of hilariously edgy radio banter. The popular trio depart after a combined 20 years at the station — mainstays Shawna and Chris Z having co-hosted previous iterations of the morning show together, with newest member Jay Brody joining from a prior stint at SiriusXM.
