GMC, Murray parted ways with the station during the change and so far hasn't publicized a new career move. You can read more about it in this post.

Where is Murray? The station is getting worse - the new guy - blends in with the wallpaper - can't sing - can't entertain - why was he brought in??? Eric is nuts to say Virgin is soooo much better - Hey, Eric - what closet did you come out of - Virgin is an embarrassment to all !

Call Murray back - please - we need entertainment and laughter in the AM!!

Mix96 sucked but Virgin with its blantant technical errors (like mics not turned off during music play) has a "better" rotation of music, though the repitition of top 40s still drives me insane. Still canning Murray and Rythms International has sealed my negative opinion of this radio dial. CKUT 90.3FM ROCKS! long live college/community radio. Long live CBC Radio.

Honestly, Virgin, Mix whatever your name is...truthfully is SOOOOOO DULL!!!!!!! What has really changed!!?!?!?! When all this hoopla was first floating around about Mix...big changes, better music etc. I was looking forward to see what would come from it...and once again...I was truly disappointed...What is it with Quebec music stations!?!? There really is no flow...I could do a better job on air......I was in the Maritimes this past summer and I LOVED LOVED LOVED the radio stations...they mixed the old with the new made great comments in between and it was a plesure not a chore listening to them...we truly suck here in Quebec...I'm embarassed...

My question is how did "Virgin" get into all of this? Except on Wikipedia it says that astral licensed the name from the Virgin Group.

omg Virgin 96 is so annoying. They play the same songs over and over again. Battle of the sexes is so boring.
And that 3 o'clock road block, they say they'll play songs they NEVER would play on the station, um yeah right.

I like the new branding to Virgin Radio. Montreal being heavily european influenced, it just make sense that we lead the trend to something new. You can be sure that there will be significant investment that will drive this station to new heights but most importantly the musical content will have to be fresh. Problem with the old Mix is that they would play the same hits over and over that would force you to change the station. Let's hope that "positive change" is on the way along with getting rid of some of the "old" boring radio jocks too.

Remember CKGM of the 1970's? You listened to it until you were a tween and then you "graduated" to Chom!!! Well, Mix 96 was the same genre as the CKGM of the 70's, except now, we don't have a CHOM to graduate to!..(unless you want to listen to the same Rock of the the era!!) Hopefully Virgin will improve the morning show and the afternoon drive, which are probably the 2 time frames that most of us listen to. The only good thing about Mix 96 was Nat Lauzon's dry humour!!! If they were smart, Virgin should give her the best spots and tell Cat to take a hike!

I hope Virgin wil bring a new breath of fresh air. For the last couple of year it was getting pretty boring that I had a hard time to stay tuned to the station. The morning show music was so predictable that they played the same songs everyday 5 days a week just at differnt times of the moring. As for the News , you do need a time for news at least oncea hour ,not on the fly like you are doing now with virgin ,people need to be informed what is going on around them..i hope this is for the better .

Where`s the sherrif? He made the morning show and would make me laugh so hard by myself in the car that I would have people in cars next to me at traffic lights staring at me. I really think that was a really bad idea on Virgin`s part. Please post if anyone knows the whereabouts of the sherrif. Q92 hello!!!! what you waiting for???

I am very disappointed that Murray Sherrif is not with Mix 96 or as the saying is "Virgin" - He was a news person who spoke "straight" - obviously not what "Virgin" is all about! The news was always interesting to listen to and WHO ever knows where he has gone to! please let anyone know - I have written to "Virgin" - no response! Obviously they make a big boo boo! People REALLY did enjoy Murray and his straight talk!

I listenned to mix 96 till i was about 10, when i was sick of the staff, they were really annoying and they played the crappiest music. last night, i listened to the new station and preffered it no doubt, the music was a little better, i might actually have it set as my faves.

I too am upset that Murray is not apart of the news casts anymore. I used to listen to Q92 for his news report and the Murray Moment and even followed him over to Mix96 when he made his transition. News reports were always interesting to listen to when he presented it...now, like most other radio stations...it's just the news.
