Toronto Radio: Erin Davis To Retire From CHFI

Erin Davis
Longtime CHFI morning host Erin Davis announced Wednesday she was signing off the air after a nearly 28-year radio career.

According to The Star, Davis was joined in-studio by her husband Rob as she delivered a tearful on-air message to thank listeners and her “Rogers family.”

“Our hearts are full of sadness and gratitude, of hope and even of some excitement,” said Davis. “There are a lot of reasons to go and to stay and I want you to know the hardest part of leaving is not sharing every morning with you, the friends that I’ve never met and the many that I have, the people that have been so good, so very good to our little family over the years.”

Davis’ final show will take place Dec. 15.

She announced she would continue to be part of CHFI 981. FM in some capacity, although she wasn’t yet sure how.

After working morning show hours since she was 19, Davis, an Edmonton-native who joined CHFI in 1988 where she worked alongside then-co-host Don Daynard, said she was “excited too about sleeping in a little.”

Davis and her husband plan to move west to British Columbia where they have family, she wrote in a blog post on her website. In May 2015, Davis’ daughter Lauren died in her sleep at age 24, leaving behind a son, Colin, who had not yet turned one.

In her message to listeners, Davis expressed gratitude for “the endless kind of support that you’ve give to me and to Rob when we’ve needed it – and lately, we’ve needed it a lot.”
