Bob Mills leaving the Power 104 morning show in May
A legend in the Kelowna radio world is leaving the airwaves this spring.
Power 104 program director Jasmin Doobay has confirmed that the station will be making a change to its morning show and Bob Mills’ final day on air will be May 10.
“It’s never easy to decide when to make a change,” Doobay told NowMedia. “But you know a change is going to happen at some point and when do you do it?”
For the station that’s topped the adults 25-54 demographic for the past two years, the change is coming while they’re on top.
Doobay hopes that Mills will continue occasional work with the station and his departure doesn’t take anything away from the impressive legacy he’s left on both the station and the radio industry.
“Best mentor I’ve ever had, for sure,” Doobay said of Mills. “(He) knows the balance of finding great talent, teaching them, encouraging them to be the best and having the autonomy to make the decisions they need to make in their roles to be the best.”
He’s the type of leader who will let you fly and grow, says Doobay, something she’s seen time and time again with Mills during their time together.
“I have seen him help so many people get to where they want to be in the broadcast industry,” she said. “(He’s) super compassionate, always has an ear for everybody and knows the business inside and out.”
Mills has spent 12 years as part of the Power 104 morning show, 17 years with the station in general and 48 years in the radio industry.
It goes without saying that his shoes will be big ones to fill and the man being brought in to do that is Kieran Wilkie.
