(It is one of my favourite online media sites). I never listen to noisy commercial radio stations - only CBC/Radio Canada and community/university station. Bob, I agree with you about Radio Noon; the two-hour format was great, (especially when they had gardening or veterinary guests for the phone-in; love my fauna and flora). I hate those canned CBC network programs that don't seem relevant to any form of news or public affairs coverage (Radio-Canada 1 is better in that respect).

"Researcher" is perhaps somewhat of a misnomer. It basically involves booking guests. The key is being able to track people down and get them to agree to talk on the air.

More and more Montrealers are listening to it: second place in the morning and watch out CJAD! That success is making big waves in the rest of the market, as far as I can tell. To all you listeners and even fans, keep making your voices heard as you have been... And good luck to Nancy as she takes on one of the best jobs in the city.

Knowledgeable of Montréal and general news topics and pleasant voice, good articulation and grammar in English, decent French. She is asking listeners what stories and topics we'd like to see covered. I don't like Homier-Roy on Radio-Canada very much, so I more often listen to Daybreak early in the morning, though I do switch between the two.

And speaking of the lunch show, PLEASE bring back the two hour format. CBC is supposed to be bringing us together, not being some third-tier cable radio show rerunning hits of previous generations. good call, now about the lunch show host...

It made my week. FINALLY a great host on at least one of the three Montreal-produced Radio One shows. I am unable to listen to the Radio Noon anymore, the new host seems to be to rough onthe edges and too superfluos. The Home Run Mr. St-Laurent is another story -barely coherent as someone else already noted. I remember meeting Nancy long time ago at the Fairview Shopping Centre in Pointe Claire when she was a junior staff member of Radio Noon hosted then by Royal Orr. She has come a long way! I am looking forward to tuning in to her show every morning. Suddenly the drive to work seems to be enjoyable. Congratulations, Nancy! Do take the show on the road once in a while, myself and surely others would love to meet you personally again. V.T. Slajer, Plateau Mont Royal.
