Morning Radio Gets a Little Less Local
During Ottawa’s Pride week in August, a young boy came up to local radio host, Jesse Reynolds his eyes brimming with tears. Reynolds had inspired him to come out, he shared. His mother was a fan of Reynold’s morning show, JUMP! 106.9, which included a lot of coverage of Pride and on which Reynold’s talked about being gay. Listening to him, gave the young man courage to come out.
Two days after this encounter, Reynolds was told that the morning show, which he co-hosts with Jenna Mo, was cancelled.
