Toronto’s 98.1 CHFI is shuffling its lineup as of Monday, April 1 as veteran media personality Rick Campanelli joins the station.
Announced Wednesday morning, Campanelli will join Brooksy in a new 4 – 7 p.m. show. She’ll then continue to be heard from 7 – 9 p.m. solo, followed by the syndicated John Tesh Radio Show. Darren Osborne, who is now heard from 2 – 6 p.m., moves into the 1 – 4 p.m. time slot.
NO JOKE! Starting April 1st I’m on 98.1 CHFI with my friend Brooksy. We’re starting a brand new weekday afternoon show! We’ll keep you company as you finish up your work day.
