A popular morning radio show in Toronto has been put on hiatus amid allegations of verbal abuse and gender-based discrimination from a high-profile broadcaster who used to work there, according to the station’s owner.
Corus Entertainment Inc. says it has pulled Q107’s Derringer in the Morning off the air amid an external ethics and conduct review.
That announcement comes three days after former Q107 radio personality Jennifer Valentyne posted a video widely shared online condemning the way she was treated by her former employer and co-workers. She doesn’t name names in the video but the popular broadcaster alleges she was the victim of verbal abuse from male co-workers
