“I’m very excited for the chance to connect with our amazing listeners across Ontario,” said Rickards, in a Corus announcement. “The opportunity to host a radio show airing on nine amazing radio stations five nights a week is truly an honour and a dream come true.”

“We are thrilled to launch @Night with Mr. D – there really is no one better to host this show,” added Regional Program Director Stephanie Hunter. “Mr. D has been entertaining and interacting with listeners across Canada for decades, and to have him share his energy, love for music, local communities, and our listeners across nine radio stations in nine different cities, is something we’re thrilled about.”
