Drex has to be the absolute worst hire that CKNW ever made. I remember when he started, he bragged in a newspaper article that he was ready to fill the shoes of greats like Webster, Rafe, Burns, Bannerman etc.
Any show he did was the farthest thing from intelligent talk. It was nothing more than a gabfest with his producer and board op. The show bas basically 4 hours of Satellite Debris. People constantly talking over each other about nothing.
Along with all that, his music choices didn't fit the demographics of the stations he was on.
They claimed to be Canada's #1 late night talk show. I guess when there's no competition, you'd better be # 1 or there's a real problem.
I am hoping that his replacement will be someone with a news and/or talk background who can carry on a normal, friendly conversation with callers and not always appear to be angry.
Maybe Drex will finally find an FM station that will welcome his brand of radio. Isn't there some openings in Castlegar? They'd likely welcome him back.
