When Z99 first went to air in 1982, CC started as the morning host.
“When Lorie first joined CC in the morning, the Berlin Wall was still up, Brian Mulroney was Prime Minister, and the Riders were about to win their second Grey Cup.”
Over the 32 years of serving as morning show hosts, CC and Lorie have also made an impact on the Regina community.
Rawlco Radio said that the duo has hosted, emceed and promoted many events and causes. The annual Z99 Radiothon for the NICU at the Rawlco Centre for Mother Baby Care has been the cause closest to their hearts.
The duo will lead one more radiothon before their retirement.
A date for their last broadcast has not been determined yet.
