Gary James Announces Retirement
For Immediate Release
July 25, 2016 - 95.7 CRUZ FM’s Gary James has announced that he is hanging up the headphones after 37 years on the airwaves. Gary came to Edmonton in 1996 and has been entertaining Edmonton’s listeners for the past twenty years.
“When I convinced Gary out of retirement, I promised he could golf all morning & play radio all afternoon, and to give me 1 year. That was 3 years ago.” says General Manager, Tamara Konrad. “He will be greatly missed by our listeners, clients, and staff.”
Gary says “Thank you Edmonton, for making the last 20 years unforgettable…I will miss you! I make the most mess at home, so I will be spending more time cleaning it up and my golf game needs a lot of work. Blessings!”
Gary’s last day on air will be Friday, August 12th.
With Gary’s departure, our very own Shirley McQueen will be moving into the Drive Show, Derek Allen will be moving into Mid-Days & Shannon Medaglia will be hosting Weekends.
Those who danced were thought to be quite insane by those who couldn't hear the music.
