In late November, Toronto radio veteran John Oakley signed off for good. He didn't die, he just broadcast his final show on AM640. That meant a lineup shuffle was in order, and program director Mike Bendixen has made the announcement.
The morning show will continue to be FOTM Greg Brady. Greg's been over for several episodes, but my personal favourite is when he opened up about what happened at The Fan 590 and how he ended up at AM640.

Brad Smith has been added to the lineup and will host the 9am to noon show, which will be called No BS with Brad Smith. Brad played in the CFL before becoming the Bachelor for the opening season of The Bachelor Canada. That led to a variety of entertainment broadcast work for Rogers-owned properties and a hosting gig at Chopped Canada. Brad, if you're reading this, it's time to visit the basement.
FOTM Alex Pierson will remain as host of the noon to 3pm show. Here's her visit to the TMDS basement studio.

The new host of the afternoon drive is no surprise. Ben Mulroney takes the slot formerly occupied by John Oakley and two of his three hours will be broadcast nationally.
