Stu Jeffries:  Stu began his radio career in small town Saskatchewan, as an all-night host; through the years, he moved up and down the dial and all around the clock, finding homes in Regina, Edmonton, Vancouver, and most recently in Toronto where he helmed the morning show on 97.3 EZ Rock. Stu is perhaps best known for his 10-year role as host of CBC's Rock Video Journal "Good Rockin' Tonite". At "Good Rockin' Tonite", Stu came face-to-face with such music icons as Paul McCartney, Madonna, Janet Jackson and Mariah Carey as well as film legends including Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman, Matt Damon and Meryl Streep. Along with reading, sports and being a Mac geek, Stu loves to spend time with his young family and is a die-hard fan of the Leafs, the Jays and his boyhood home-team, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
