TORONTO – Q107 in Toronto is delighted to introduce Jennifer Valentyne as co-host of its popular morning show. Beginning today, the long-time TV personality and recent host of The Bachelorette Canada’s live After Show will join fan-favourites John Derringer, Ryan Parker and John Garbutt on Derringer in the Morning with Jennifer Valentyne, weekdays from 6 a.m. – 10 a.m.
“I’m excited to join a morning show I already love and regularly tune-in to,” said Jennifer Valentyne.”I think Toronto listeners will be surprised to see a whole new side of me – I can’t wait!”
Valentyne is no stranger to Toronto audiences. A beloved media veteran with multiple decades of experience, Valentyne started her career at Key 590. She is best known for her impressive run at City TV’s Breakfast Television. Over the course of her career, she has interviewed a number of prominent celebrities such as Billy Crystal, Rachel McAdams, Channing Tatum and Harrison Ford, but her passion has always been speaking to the people in her community.
“Jennifer is the perfect fit to round out our existing all-star team,” said Blair Bartrem, Senior Program Director, Q107. “We’ve been searching for our very own Elaine to join our Seinfeld-like cast of characters and now we’ve found her.”
Award-winning host John Derringer has been on the radio for over 30 years. He has been named Radio Personality of the Year nine times by Canadian Music Week and Favourite Toronto Radio Personality by the Toronto Sun, Eye Weekly and NOW Magazine. A tireless advocate for many philanthropic causes, Derringer supports Abuse Hurts through his annual campaign, Derringer’s 13 Days of Christmas and the B.A.D. Ride, which benefits the Distress Centres of Toronto.
