The radio booking represents a rare long-form interview with the premier, who has not taken part in similar year-end interviews for several years.

Mike Bendixen, national director of talk and director of talk and talent Toronto at Corus Radio, said the interview shows his station’s commitment to listeners.

“Having honest conversations with leading newsmakers is another example of our commitment to bringing listeners the very best content in Toronto radio,” Bendixen said.
