“I’ve admired both Ruby and Alex as individual radio personalities and have followed their careers,” said Tammy Cole, Program Director for 102.1 The Edge. “I’m excited to bring them together as a morning show in Toronto. Their chemistry as siblings is very fun and they are both talented at engaging listeners.”
