BELL MEDIA AC CHRE (EZ ROCK 105.7)/ST. CATHARINES, ON morning host RICK HODGE has announced his retirement after 45 years in radio.  HODGE, who was part of "ROGER, RICK & MARILYN" on sister Hot AC CHUM-F/TORONTO for 20 years before joining EZ ROCK as LORI LOVE's co-host, will wrap things up on FRIDAY (11/2).

HODGE said, “It’s been a privilege to finish my career in my hometown alongside my on-air partner of six years, the talented LORI LOVE. LORI is a true professional and an entertaining broadcaster, and I will continue listening to her in the mornings.  I’d also like to thank the entire staff at the building we call ‘The White House’ and the dedicated 105.7 EZ ROCK listeners for all their support.”

“RICK HODGE remains a true staple in CANADA’s radio industry and has connected with listeners in ST. CATHARINES, TORONTO, and beyond,” said BELL MEDIA President, Radio and Local TV NIKKI MOFFAT. “Though we will miss his thoughtful and inviting presence to kick off each day, I wish him the very best in his retirement and thank him for his contributions over four decades on the air.”

“RICK HODGE has added a brilliant energy to 105.7 EZ ROCK mornings, offering a positive spirit and quality conversation alongside LORI LOVE,” said PD LISA VINC. “On behalf of the entire team, I’d like to offer best wishes and thanks to RICK as we get ready for his final broadcast. Congratulations, RICK!”
