Judson will be replacing the retiring Ron McFarland, who was at Country 105 for 22 years (and Peterborough radio for 40 years). They are big shoes to fill, but Judson is up for the challenge. "Ron is a local radio legend who has forever left his mark on his listeners," Judson tells PTBOCanada. "Obviously that is a lot of pressure on me coming into a show where the guy before me was so cemented in his role, but I am really, really excited for it. When it comes to the show's direction, I think we are going to let things happen organically and see what feels right."
The move is like coming back full circle for Judson, as he actually got his start in local radio with the Country 105/Energy 99.7/91.9 BOB FM family when he first moved to Peterborough. "I love radio as a medium and always have," he tells PTBOCanada. "TV was fun but I have been looking into getting back into radio for a while. I started my career in radio 10 years ago and it was always my dream to become a morning show jock. The dream has come true and I am looking forward to having a blast every morning with Miles and of course, the devoted Country 105 listeners."
