About a year ago, Ingrid Schumacher visited my home and shared several great stories about her four decades on the air at 104.5 CHUM-FM. She was even on the air the night John Lennon was shot. I thoroughly enjoyed our conversation and urge you to listen to it here.
I'm sorry to report that Ingrid was fired from her 104.5 CHUM-FM gig on Thursday. Almost immediately, several things happened:
- Ingrid deleted her @ingridchumfm Twitter handle
- BellMedia removed her 9am show from the schedule at http://www.iheartradio.ca/chum-fm/shows
- BellMedia removed her from the @1045CHUMFM Twitter bio
I have confirmed Ingrid was indeed let go Thursday with her long-time friend and former colleague Lee Eckley who heard it from Ingrid directly.
