Long-time Edmonton broadcaster Daryl McIntyre is the new co-host of CHED 630 AM Mornings. Bringing 37 years of experience to the role, McIntyre officially joined Chelsea Bird as of Wednesday morning, Global News reports.
“Daryl is a beloved personality in Edmonton with amazing insight into the city’s past and present,” John Vos, regional program director, Corus Radio Alberta said. “We’re thrilled to welcome Daryl to 630 CHED Mornings to join the talented Chelsea Bird and we look forward to listeners starting their day with entertaining and informative programming.”
Most recently the 6 p.m. anchor on CTV Edmonton, McIntyre left that station in September 2019. He got his start as a radio and television reporter in Lloydminster, Alta., before a stint in Prince George, B.C.
In 1986, he made the move back to Edmonton where he has remained ever since.
“Daryl is a powerhouse in Edmonton and I’m so excited he’s bringing his years of experience as well as his knowledge of this city to 630 CHED Mornings,” Bird said.
“Mornings on 630 CHED has had some brilliant broadcasters over the years including Wes Montgomery, Gord Whitehead and Bruce Bowie.
The duo will only be together for a few days before Bird goes on maternity leave. Her last day is scheduled to be May 7.
“As I take my maternity leave, I know our listeners are in good hands with Daryl and I can’t wait to return and continue to build this show together.
Bird and McIntyre will continue to be joined by sports anchor Morley Scott and news anchor Randy Kilburn.
