Kevin and Sonia let go from Kiss Radio as station makes changes

Two radio personalities who host a popular morning show in Metro Vancouver announced on air Tuesday that it was their last day.

In a tweet, Kevin Lim and Sonia Sidhu said the station told them changes were coming and the pair wouldn’t be part of the new chapter.

“Although this comes with mixed emotions, we want to express one overwhelming feeling: gratitude. First and foremost, thank you, our loyal listeners and now friends. We are so incredibly thankful for everyone who shared their mornings with us and invited us into their lives.”

They’ve been at Kiss for more than five years, through COVID-19 and personal changes for them both — including marriage and welcoming two children between them.

“We wouldn’t change this experience for the world,” they said.

In addition to Kevin and Sonia, Tara Jean Stevens (PM Drive) is also out at KiSS FM.

The station is currently stunting a loop of Rage Against The Machine’s “Killing In The Name Of”. Is this an indication they will be bringing back the Alternative Rock format from the X FM days?

I'm sure the new format will be launching prior to the Canada Day long weekend.

If this happens, will Pattison's 102.7 The Peak drop the format and evolve into Classic Hits "The Beach" or "Rewind"?

Hmmmmm

Yet another format change at 104.9 on the dial. Enjoy the ride for awhile kids, until this format flops & they bring back Christmas FM. Returning to my Spotify Playlist updates!
Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars!

They are now Sonic. That sounds very familiar. Wasn't that a former incarnation?

Yes, Mr. Beddows, who was once my Program Director, is correct. This sticker is from 2012, from radiofan's collection.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. I would sure like to see a return to free form radio. That wont happen of course. I really enjoy listening to Jim Ladd on Sirius deep tracks. Tom Petty's, the last DJ.
