Tyler and Lynch: From Layoffs to Stardom in Calgary
In a twist worthy of any blockbuster drama, the beloved radio duo Tyler Middleton and Lynch-once the kings of the drive-time airwaves on Vancouver’s 99.3 CFOX-have scored a new gig in Calgary that has fans buzzing like a live mic. After being unceremoniously ousted during Corus’ summer shakeup, these two talents are not just limping back; they’re leaping onto the Calgary stage with the enthusiasm of NBA stars signing with their next big team.
It was all fanfare and applause when they were officially welcomed to CJAY92, boastfully branded as “Calgary’s Best Rock.” The announcement was nothing short of theatrical, complete with piped-in crowd roars and clever, sports-style questions. One cheeky inquiry dug a little too deep into their recent past: “So, fellas, what’s the real scoop on your firing from CFOX?”
With a smirk, Lynch quipped, “Uh, which time?” To which Middleton added, “Yeah, we got fired twice, actually.” If that doesn’t scream veteran resilience, I don’t know what does!
But don’t let that cheeky banter fool you; their move is more than just a career reboot. Despite CJAY92 being a competitor, as it’s owned by Bell Media, a show page featuring The Tyler and Lynch Show already graces the station’s website, signaling that the Calgarians are ready for their brand of humor and insight. With studios nestled in the CTV Calgary building on Patina Rise, they’re stepping into a world of active rock-quite a shift from the modern rock vibes of CFOX.
This exhilarating news comes amidst the backdrop of a challenging time for Corus employees. Just days ago, local media darling Fiona Forbes bared her soul about her own shocking dismissal, calling it a “rude awakening.” The layoffs rocked the industry, with 46 employees, including a staggering 26 journalists, being let go across Alberta and B.C.
So, as Tyler and Lynch gear up for this daring new chapter, their fans can only hope that Calgary is ready for the electric blend of humor, insight, and maybe a pinch of scandal. After all, with these two, it’s always showtime!
