Kyla Cornish
Afternoon Announcer

Born and raised in Manitoba, Kyla started radio in North Bay, Ontario, working as a morning show producer at EZ ROCK before snagging the evening shift at THE FOX . She has been making fun of Steve Russell everyday since becoming part of the Drive Crew in 2006.

Kyla is very involved in the community from MC'ing local East Kootenay events to being a board member of the Cranbrook and District Arts Council and a member of the Canadian Cancer Society Relay for Life Committee.

Kyla may or may not be part of many fanclubs and blogs related to her favourite tv show LOST. She digs watching anything on MTV, reading, playing wallyball, volleyball, hiking & cross country skiing!

Johnny & Marko Johnny King & Marko!
The Awesome Hour

The Drive’s two Creative Writers are also the hosts of our Indie Show: The Awesome Hour, Saturday nights and Tuesday night's at 11 with Mark Rosini and Johnny King!

While natural enemies, respectively hailing from the border towns of Victoria B.C. and Windsor, ON, Mark and Johnny have managed to form a close-knit bond talking music. They enjoy a variety of leisurely pursuits, such as making pancakes, quoting Kenny vs Spenny and arguing like a married couple due to working in the same room together all day.

Steve Russell
