I hope you're paying him in Canadian dollars.
I also find his appointment a disappointment. (No pun intended). There are plenty of Program/Brand Managers across Canada and an over-supply of them at CORUS alone. Why not give them a chance to elevate themselves in the company for which they've laboured? CORUS has Assistant PD's, PD's, Cluster PD's, Western PD's, Eastern PD's and National PD's. Some are AM or FM specialists! Surely there must have one of them capable of running what are, in effect, two talk stations!
