Karen Stintz is back with morning radio show stint
Former Toronto city councillor Karen Stintz is back in the public eye after picking up a gig with Newstalk 1010's morning radio show.
Stintz confirmed she has taken up a position on Wednesday’s Moore in the Morning show as a regular panelist.
“I’ll go down and I’ll be a regular panelist on Wednesday mornings at 7:45,” Stintz said Wednesday.
On Twitter, she joked she had “a new moniker. I am no longer the ‘former’ TTC Chair.”
The former TTC chair is no stranger to the radio waves. Aside from interviews as a city councillor, Stintz said she has stood in for panelists on the Newstalk show before as a guest, but things will be different during her regular morning stints.
Stintz said she welcomes the chance to talk about international and national issues rather than being tethered to Toronto-centric news.
“It’s been nice to talk about a range of issues, not just city issues — so it won’t be focused solely on city hall,” Stintz said.
On Feb. 4, Stintz took part in the show’s panel discussion about drunk drivers, ISIS and girls’ hockey league rules on contact.
Moore in the Morning is hosted by John Moore, and runs from 5:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. on Newstalk 1010.
