1/2 Life changing news from me today. My time
@ctvedmonton
is nearing an end. My final newscast will be on Friday, September 13th. The irony of the date is not lost on me! haha This is a bittersweet time wrapping up nearly 33 years at the station I grew up watching.
BTW.. if you're between 55 and 64 & bitching about a slow vaccine rollout .. sit down. Better yet, go get your shot. You can sit there and relax for a bit.
And don't feed me a load of garbage about health concerns with Astra Zeneca. First chance .. take it.

It’s the perfect way to wrap up 41 years of broadcasting. Finishing with the radio station I grew up with after the TV station I grew up with. I’m retiring from broadcasting. I will still do voice work, emcee and auctioneer. Last day on air: May 31. Thank you all for a good run!
Quiet Sunday morning running through all the comments. I was going to start liking all of them so you knew that I had read them. But Twitter limits that so ... please know I've seen them. From kids I used to babysit to former teachers and beyond. Thank You!
Was registered online, waiting for a vaccine appointment. Thought I'd just see if there was a spot at the Expo Centre walk-through vaccination clinic. Got an appointment for THIS morning after a grand total of 2 MINUTES EFFORT!
Person at Safeway just bought a cart full of large packages of toilet paper. “I heard Costco was running low so I’m stocking up”
#coronavirus
does not require a year’s worth of toilet paper. Calm the hell down !!!
2/2 But it’s the right time and I’m excited over whatever new opportunities arise. I do not have any specific plans right now but I will have time to figure it all out. Thank you for all your support over the years!!!!

Saturday marks 32 years at CFRN/
@ctvedmonton
for me. Funny that these days a lot of people are asking " so when are you going to retire?" Short answer is ... not yet. So stop asking. It's makes me feel old. LOL !!!
So … this is a few years back when
@staceybrotzel
forced me to get up early for the morning show. Fast forward & it’s time to get a partner! Starting September 25th
@630ched
This Morning with Stacey Brotzel and Daryl McIntyre. A “Brotzel Bro” t-shirt???

One challenge of morning radio is having a topic planned and prepared for and a guest to help drive that conversation. Then they don’t show. Crap happens but this 1 guest has done this THREE times to me. Won’t get that chance again. Infuriating. Don’t mind me … just venting!
I’m now a certified auctioneer in Alberta and soon to be a member of the Auctioneers Association. Outstanding course! I can now build on 36 years of emceeing events and handle live auctions as well!

Less than two hours from booking online ... to driving ... to getting the shot. If you’re in the 55 plus age group for the Astra Zeneca ...it’s super easy.

Just in case you thought I would dress up for my first of these radio guest host spots. The joys of working from home! Plus I have to check on a frozen livestock waterer after this !
Like many others today, I also wonder if it's ageism or misogyny or some such spineless reason. In reality, I think it's just a misguided attempt to cut the budget. Idiocy and shortsightedness are friends. Your passion to excel every day remained.

just didn't care.
Happy Birthday to this gem Bruce Hogle on his 90th. A man who with incredible energy and drive to make our community better!

The world lost the most special boy and an absolute hero last night. Ben, you were the best son we could ever hope for and you were my best bud ever. Your sisters were so lucky to have you as such a sweet brother. You fought so long and hard and beat so many odds.
Day 9 of “This Morning with J’lyn and Daryl”. Several full on gut busting laughs today and every day. If you haven’t had a chance yet … try us out. Edmonton and Alberta focused and having some fun on morning radio!

25 months of avoiding The Rona … but now I’m in the club. It’s a not so exclusive group recognized by a never ending river of snot, sore chest/throat and fatigue. I’m doing just fine though. Hopefully back on air

Happy Easter!
Love having Duke hang out with me in the morning. Don’t do it all the time …just sometimes. I do get “that look” after a while as if to say “you done yet?”
2:00 to 6:00
@630CHED
I’m joining
@JlynNye
as a guest host for the next four days! Really looking forward to it!!
I wonder if there’s anything to talk about? :).

Congratulations to all

grads during today’s convocation! And thank you for this Honorary Bachelor of Technology degree! I am beyond pleased and appreciative! The very best of luck to all of you!
Last day of 2020 and a farewell to
@imboblayton
on the air. What an extraordinary career not just characterized by longevity but by the fact he loved every moment of being a broadcaster. Congratulations on retirement and doing so on your own terms Bob!

Fun surprise going through old files. It’s just a photo copy of a billboard proof but I don’t remember this pic.
26 years ago apparently we were “one name” stars!
Pretty excited to launch my new website. Thanks to
@yegdigital

Just heard a VRBO commercial. So ...it’s pronounced “verbo” and not v-r-b-o as I’ve always heard it and said it? When did that happen? I don’t understand this world anymore.
Ready for one hour of the Matt Cook 24 hour charity challenge. This is the look of a concerned man who knows he will be the worst player on the ice! No legs, no hands, no hockey head but the heart is in the right place!!!
@24HourGame
Had a brief chat this morning with the great Bryan Hall
@Hallsy_ched
on the way out of the
@630CHED
building today. Pretty rare that I get called “kiddo” anymore. But Bryan gets to! Lol
Plenty to chat about
@630CHED
with
@JlynNye
this afternoon including covid vaccines, the Mars rover with a local scientist playing a key role and what looks to be an extraordinary step forward in the search for a cancer cure! Even my horses are ready to let ‘er buck!
This was a fun trip down memory lane. Some of my moments with
@DMcIntyreCTV
as he prepares for his final newscast on
@ctvedmonton
. Thanks, Daryl, for always finding that balance between authority and personality.
Perhaps it’s becoming more obvious that misogyny and ageism were involved. Because both got in the way of stopping an idiotic budget decision.
