Mike grew up in a small community just twenty minutes north of Winnipeg. He attended school in the city and spent most of his time in the car, listening to the radio. He then slowly developed a love for radio, but never really thought it was something he would pursue as a career. Upon graduating from high school, he enrolled in the University of Winnipeg's Business program. He then realized very quickly that this wasn't the career path for him, so he dropped out after the second semester. He then took a year off from school, working various odd jobs and started thinking of what he should do for a career. It wasn't until his parents showed him an advertisement for Assiniboine Community College's interactive media arts program that he finally had the realization that radio was something he wanted to be a part of.

After being accepted into ACC he moved to Brandon and spent two years working on getting his degree. He then graduated in the summer of 2020. Usually, a practicum would be set up by ACC, but due to COVID-19, he was left to look for a job himself. He was working as a screener at Seven Oaks General Hospital until he was informed by a friend who works at CFAR to apply for a job position here in The Pas, Manitoba. He applied, and sure enough, he got the job.

He's a huge sports betting fan and enjoys watching the NFL, CFL, Mixed Martial Arts, and Boxing. He also likes keeping active by working out and running outside.

Born in Quebec and raised in Ontario, Alex likes to take a little piece of every place they’ve been along with them wherever they go next. It just so happens most of the places they’ve visited have been tucked away between the pages of a book or behind a TV screen. Hooked on fantasy adventures, they’ve taken to loving everything nerdy, and they wear that title with pride, never letting their sense of creativity dim.

Pursuing communications technology through high school while creating audio dramas alongside friends who shared a passion for writing and voice acting. Eventually attending radio broadcasting at Fanshawe College, taking part in the operation of one of Canada’s top educational radio stations!

Graduating with a passion for radio and an ungodly amount of caffeine in their system, Alex moved away from home, working fast food for nearly a year before a message from a friend working at CFAR urged them to apply for CJAR’s morning host position.

1 month later, haggard and wide-eyed with wonder, they arrived in The Pas eager to explore the community.

I may not be the biggest guy, or the toughest guy,
or the fastest guy, or the smartest guy ... wait,
where was I going with this.?"





Derek is a Manitoban through and through and when hes not cheering on the big Blue and Gold he
is probably wearing a Jets shirt. Born and raised in Winnipeg he had your pretty typical upbringing.


Soon after leaving high school Derek found himself working in restaurants. He may not look it but
he can cook like the wind blows, and oh my is it tasty. His passion towards cooking could not last
forever though and with that fire slowly fading away he found himself looking for, a new passion.
It was his love of all things music that made him decide radio was the right place.

It was at this time Derek went to the Academy of Broadcasting and was able to take his first step
towards becoming the man he is today. Derek has a love of everything media. He loves listening to
all types of music, from classical to metal and everything in between. He can often be seen jogging
while rocking out to The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, The Guess Who and other classic rock greats.

In his free time Derek loves to play the guitar and says the only thing he misses about Winnipeg are
the ladies he left behind, a Fender and a Jackson. He also has a love of science fiction and all things
alien. The Truth is Out There.


Catch Derek bright and early Saturdays - and weekdays Tuesday through Friday from 10 to 2PM
for the evening drive, and call him with your favourite tunes for the 3 Oclock Request fest.
