Ian MacLennan

News Director / Morning Show Co-Host

Raised in Toronto, I have worked in radio here, there, up and down the dial,  just like they told me I would on WKRP in Cincinnati.  When I am not at work, I continue my obsession with trains.  Nothing is better than waiting for a 150 car train to go by at a railway crossing.  Even better if it stops and blocks traffic for 10 minutes.

I have a drone,  which is also becoming an obsession, and I like to hike,  explore caves, and  hang with my two teenaged children, when they say I can.

If it is summer, my place to be is Kincardine on Lake Huron. Giant waves, beautiful sunsets.

I also sit on the Board of Directors at Youth Haven, the only shelter in Simcoe County for homeless teens and at-risk youth.
