September 28th, 2019 Update:
I’m not sure how long he’s been there or how permanent he is, but I just heard Dave Hannah on 99.5 KFUN in Kitchener. Carin Texted me from a cab saying she heard somebody that sounded like him on the radio, so I tuned in and sure enough, there he was.
Original Post:
I don’t know what’s going on down at CKWR this morning, but it sounds like somebody might not have had the best weekend. In the span of an hour or so, I heard both this

and this.
Don’t you just want to jump right out of bed and take on the world?
And while we’re talking about radio, what in the heck happened with Dave Hannah on CJOY? When he disappeared suddenly a few weeks ago, I didn’t think much of it. I thought maybe he was sick like everybody else around here. Carin and I haven’t been able to speak for more than a few minutes without coughing for like two weeks now, and when you’re doing radio that’s just not going to work. But then last week they aired this announcement, which they’ve also posted online.

1460 CJOY wants to thank Dave Hannah for his service to the community and for his many valuable years of being “that voice” you’ve been used to hearing on radio first thing in the morning. Unfortunately Dave is no longer the CJOY morning man or a member of the Corus/Guelph team. We want to wish Dave the very best in the future.
And then…nothing. No local news coverage, nothing so far in any of the various radio industry news places, not even any rumours. I know broadcasting can be a pretty garbage business about letting people say goodbye, but there’s been a trend, especially with long-serving employees, of giving them a sendoff. CJOY and the papers gave Neill Clemens one just last year. But now it’s this year, and Dave has simply disappeared. Hopefully everyone is ok and nobody’s in any trouble.
I have to say that I hardly ever turn on CJOY in the morning anymore, since Dave is gone. I just don’t enjoy the guys you have now . Dave was great and I would like to know what happened to him.
There’s not much I bother with CJOY for beyond Storm games anymore.
I’m curious what you listen to in the mornings now instead, if anything.
Oh, and I’m no closer to figuring out what became of Dave in spite of asking around a bit and keeping an eye on places that generally know these sorts of things. NO idea why it’s such a mystery.
True
Don’t listen to CJOY anymore since Dave disappeared.Sad.
