McComb

CORUS News-Talk CKNW-A/VANCOUVER morning host JON MCCOMB has announced his retirement. MCCOMB's last day on the show will be on DECEMBER 13th; He has been with CKNW for over 36 years and previously worked at CFCF-A and CJAD-A/MONTREAL.

“JON is an award winning newsman, commentator and personality. His success isn’t only in longevity but in his ability to reinvent and perform in any role or time slot,” said CORUS National Director, AM Radio LARRY GIFFORD. “JON leaves CKNW as top dog, the most listened to radio host in VANCOUVER today, and is credited with helping build a legacy that we all know and love. He’s also a dear friend and is welcome to visit whenever he gets an itch to get behind the mic again.”

“As this phase of my career comes to a close, I am humbled and honoured to have been invited into the daily routines of hundreds of thousands of CKNW listeners. When I began broadcasting, almost 50 years, I couldn’t have imagined an audience so loyal, informed, intelligent and sometimes challenging,” said MCCOMB. “When I talked about my issues with depression and anxiety on the air a few years back, I was overwhelmed by the love, support and encouragement that flowed in from listeners. We’ve agreed and disagreed on every issue under the sun…but what I’ll remember and cherish the most are the daily opportunities to make real and human connections. Thank you.”
