GLOBAL NEWS RADIO ANNOUNCES THE LAUNCH OF NEW PROVINCE WIDE SHOW WITH SHAYE GANAM ON 770 CHQR AND 630 CHED 

Show Debuts April 12 

For Immediate Release 

EDMONTON, April 7, 2021 – Global News Radio stations 770 CHQR and 630 CHED announced today new programming to air across Alberta. Shaye Ganam is set to launch the new show on April 12, live on 770 CHQR Calgary from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. MT and 630 CHED Edmonton from 9 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. MT.

Ganam is well-known locally as the co-host of 630 CHED Mornings with Chelsea Bird & Shaye Ganam. Before making the switch to radio, he was a former co-host of Global News Morning and Global News at Noon on Global Edmonton. An Edmonton native, he attended the University of Alberta and NAIT before beginning his career in broadcasting as an Anchor/Reporter in Saskatoon and Calgary. He returned home to Global Edmonton in 1998 where he spent the next two decades. Ganam was a key contributor to Global Edmonton’s current reputation as the most watched morning newscast in the city.

“I’ve come to understand and believe that radio and the conversations we have every day is naturally a place for us to gather,” said Shaye Ganam. “For each one of us to talk, have our voices heard, agree, debate and find the common ground.”

“Shaye has done an amazing job connecting with listeners during his time on CHED and CHQR. A born and raised Albertan, he is a natural fit for extending this new show across the province and connecting with listeners in every town and city,” said John Vos, Regional Program Director, Corus Radio Alberta. “Shaye Ganam will be zeroed in on the things that matter to Albertans. He brings the facts, the insight, humour and understanding of topics that influence our day-to-day lives.”
