Nat Hunter and Josie Dye will be the new hosts of CHUM 104.5’s morning show.
The new duo will take over the weekday morning airwaves starting July 6, just a week after longtime host Marilyn Denis’ last show on June 26.
Denis announced her intention to step away from the morning drive-in slot in February after a 40 year stint with CHUM FM. The Edmonton-born broadcaster started with the station back in 1986 and became a familiar voice for the city.
Hunter, one of the new hosts, is a home-grown talent who was previously the co-host of MOVE 103.5 in Vancouver. She’s moved back to the city after a two decade stint on the west coast.
“It’s an incredible honour to follow the legend that is Marilyn Denis,” Hunter said in a statement.
Dye has appeared on the afternoon show on CHUM FM for more than 25 years. She created and hosted The Josie Dye Show on Indie88 and another nationally recognized show for 102.1.
