Sharon Hyland: La Reine Du Rock

Around Montreal, mention the words "Queen of Rock" and that title
goes to Sharon Hyland, longtime on air host at CHOM-FM. Last
month she eclipsed 25 years of broadcasting at the legendary
radio station. And while her name might not get lumped in with
the CHOM Alumni who came before her, (just yet) her knowledge of
rock and the station's more recent history is second to none.


In this episode, you'll hear why Sharon went into radio, and how
her path from Algonquin College led her to Ottawa's legendary
rock station CHEZ 106, and then later to CHOM. We break down the
various eras of ownership and throw a few PD's under the bus
along the way. We also talk about the friendships along the way
including that with Steve Anthony and Pete Marier, and also how
cancer has touched her family deeply.
